Goodbye Ukraine. Oklahoma, Here We Come!













We will be home in 31 hours and I finally have time and the internet access to catch you up on our Rotary meetings and events. I know some of these events have been touched on but I would like to review with the photos I have. Megan's camera was used for many of the meetings and I will upload in the next few hours.



We visited the Heart Sanatorium in Naleczow with our Rotarian hosts last week and are posed in front of a tree that they planted on the grounds after 9/11. The Poles plant trees in honor of major events, births of children and grandchildren, and in this case, their unity with America following those heart-wrenching events.




Our District Conference held in L'viv, Ukraine this weekend went exceedingly well, I think. The auditorium was unbelievably gorgeous and the perfect stage for our rendition of "Oklahoma" -which we sang following our presentation in Polish (with Ukrainian and English translations!). The District Governor, Andriy Bahanych, even wore our gift of the Indian headress while we sang!
