Through Rotary, there are no strangers--

only friends we haven't met.

BEATRIZ MATOS-PEREZ

We are pleased to introduce to you Bia Matos-Perez, Santos, Sao Paulo, Brazil

We had a great time meeting Bia at the August 20th picnic at the Cassell Farm Pavilion!  She was welcomed by the club, the Mayor, Elizabethtown College, the Masonic Village and the Chamber of Commerce, and received a lot of welcoming gifts.  She's had a busy time getting settled in, visiting HersheyPark, and starting classes at EAHS. She attended her first club meeting on Friday, September 4th.    On October 23rd she spoke to our club about her home country and her experience here so far.  She has been very faithful in her attendance at club meetings, and is a Charter member of the new EAHS Interact Club sponsored by our Rotary Club.
