Photos by Kira Paterson. At the Rotary lunch on Wednesday, Aug. 10, Nikki Tomoniko was the featured guest, making a presentation about her year in Switzerland on Rotary exchange. Her presentation was a “how to” guide on making the most of a Rotary exchange and the things she discovered while she was on hers. The presentation was broken into a step-by-step process, including sections on the decision, the arrival, what it’s like to live with a host family, what school is like, how to get involved in programs, making friends and getting good meals from the Rotary meetings.
