Dear Rotarians in Hickory, Blowing Rock, Ashville and Marion clubs,
Dear friends of mine ( Bill Baker, Josh Strickland, David Ricketts, Joe Gillespie, Franck Dean …)
I wish I was there with you.
As a GSE team member visiting your district in year 2005 I can assert the GSE experience is unique.
There is no doubt the team travelling with Franck will make a step into a new world : both inside with great thoughts and outside meeting other ways of life in the Philippines.
Have a great day.

Gilles, I think Frank is an alternate on the team? will he be the leader?
