After council asked for citizen support earlier this year, Rapid City Reservoir and Beach Committee was organized in June. The committee is comprised of two representatives each from the chamber, wildlife association, Lions club, one LUD councillor and one Oakview councillor. Chairman Jim Meakin says, “Our committee was formed on the request of RM of Oakview, to work with all levels of government on identifying problems and searching for solutions; it is time to look at answers. The RM has been very progressive and very helpful; I want to commend them for looking ahead to form this committee and in providing funding. There’s a lot of intelligent people on this committee; we are able to communicate well with different levels of government so far and we’re getting some positive feedback. ”

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.
