The Rotary Club of Fillmore said goodbye to its Rotary Exchange Student, Franziska Scheifler, last week. Franzi was sponsored by both Fillmore Rotary Clubs. She arrived last August, attended and graduated from Fillmore High School with honors, this June. During her stay she lived with three different families, which is a requirement, thus learning how other people live. She also attended many Rotary sponsored activities such as the Community Workday at Rancho Camulos, Rotary Leadership Camp, the District Conference and several weekend trips with other Rotary exchange students in the county. Probably the highlight of her stay was a month long Rotary trip around the USA by train. She saw all the famous sights from San Francisco to Niagara Falls and Washington DC. Both clubs enjoyed getting to know Franzi and hearing her speak about Germany and her many new experiences in the United States.
