Program
JOSEPH 101 - Our club's exchange student Joseph gave a presentation on his city,
school and family in Laon, France. Joseph introduced his family members. His father and mother are both in the insurance industry, and his father is a Past President of the Laon Rotary Club. Several of his brothers and sisters have been Rotary Exchange Students in the past. One brother provided a colorful, drone video of the historic city of Laon and its beautiful church. Joseph attends a private school, where he will be required to complete his senior year of high school after he returns from Wenatchee! His home is a large stone building that is older than the United States.
In his free time, Joseph enjoys Boy Scouts and playing tennis. When asked what the difference between Wenatchee High School and his private school, he said there are NO windows in WHS! His school had plenty of windows which he liked! His long range plans include becoming an engineer, visiting Vancouver, BC, and getting on the tennis team. His favorite class is calculus.
