Scottish foreign exchange student Cody Johnson is Rotary speaker

Body
Beth Briant’s program this week was a family affair. Her son and daughter-in-law, David and Dusty Witcher, are currently hosting an exchange student, Cody Johnson, from Scotland. Cody is participating in this exchange through the program Foreign Links Around the Globe, or FLAG. Unlike our Rotary exchange students who rotate between up to three host families during their year stay, Cody will board with the Witchers for her full year.
