I have been participating in many, many Rotary events, meetings, conferences and volunteer opportunities in Aberdeen – definitely fulfilling my role as an Ambassadorial Scholar! Each new meeting and event I have the chance to meet Rotarians and interesting individuals with impressive life stories. It has been a rewarding opportunity to serve as an Ambassadorial Scholar and I feel very appreciative that the Rotarians and community of Aberdeen have welcomed me with open arms!
My most recent and exciting Rotary experience was meeting the First Minister of Scotland – Alex Salmond. The Dyce Rotary Club, located just outside of Aberdeen was holding its 25th Charter Dinner, celebrating its 25th Birthday as a club. One of the guest speakers for the night was Alex Salmond, First Minister of Scotland (the equivalent to America’s Barack Obama)!
I talked with Alex Salmond for about 2 minutes about visiting America, and he told me that although he had not been to West Virginia, he had been to Virginia. So, of course I told him how great West Virginia is and that some day he should come visit! Then he gladly took a picture with me “say cheers”!
