Nadieska Vasquez
Nadieska (Nadi) Vasquez, Rotary Exchange student representing Peru's District 4300, met the Bay City Club on Tuesday. Introduced by Andrea Hales, who's own son is on exchange in Mexico, Nadi had just arrived Friday night and was on something of whirlwind introduction to the area.

Nadi comes from a town smaller than Bay City. Her school had about 118 students, which is a far cry from the size of Garber High, which she'll attend this year. She will join the marching band as a clarinetist. Her long term goal is to become a dentist.

Where the geography in Peru is mountainous, Nadi was struck with the flat land around Bay City. Although someone in the office did ask if she had seen the Zilwaukee Bridge! She did say that the local houses made an impression in her first few days and she liked the water and trees as she rode over the bridges.

Nadi's family owns a pharmacy business. Her father is the pharmacist and her mother runs the office. She has a sister who's 23 and a brother who's 18. Both work in the family business.

In closing Nadi exchanged rotary flags and gifts with Club President Ed Keating and Exchange Counselor Barb Englehardt.

Andrea and Brenda Rowley are still looking for a host family for the last few weeks of Nadi's stay. If you have room, be sure to contact one of them.

If you're taking any trips this year and would like to host Nadi, talk to Andrea and Brenda about that too. Permission is required, but the chance to see the area is always welcomed.

The district's 14 inbound exchange students will be here through July. There's the possibility that the entire group could be hosted in Bay City for the Fireworks in July. This would be a first for the club and promises to be a lot of fun for everyone.
