Sana Saeed is our Rotary Peace Fellow!

Dear Ron, Neal and Donald, I'm so happy to announce that I've been selected as a Rotary Peace Fellow and will be moving to Japan in Fall 2013! I'm so excited about this wonderful opportunityI've actually been sitting in shock for the last hour after seeing the e-mail. I didn't get my first choice of going to Australia, but I'm super excited about Japan. I plan on enrolling in language classes asap! :) I'm very proud to be able to represent the District and the Crystal City Rotary Club in Japan. Please let me know if there is anything the club would like me to do as a Rotary Peace Fellow! Thank you so much for your help with this whole process! Sincerely, Sana
