I have been overwhelmed by the support, encouragement and hospitality of the Rotary Clubs and Rotarians I have had the pleasure of meeting in Aberdeen and thus far as an Ambassadorial Scholar. From offering me ride, inviting me to church, taking me to a Bagpipe and Drum Concert, inviting me to their homes and for delicious homemade dinners, buying me drinks, providing me with lunches, taking me to community service events…Rotarians have been nothing but kind, helpful, and generous of their time, resources and energy!
I would encourage any student to apply for the Ambassadorial Scholarship. It has been a very rewarding experience, and I am looking forward to speaking with Rotary clubs around the local area and meeting even more Rotarians in the future.
A perfect example of Rotarian hospitality was the invitation to The Lord Provost Variety Show, which I attended this past weekend as fundraising entertainment for The Lord Provost Charity Fund. The Lord Provost is the political representative for Aberdeen, kind of like a town mayor in America. All of the Variety Show performers – comedians, dancers, and singers – donated their time and talent to assemble the Variety Show. It was a lovely night filled with Scottish entertainment and humor!
