The four students are part of the Rotary Foundation's Short Term exchange program which enables students to visit for periods of up to a month with a host family. While staying in the Charleroi Area the students have visited local and regional points of interest, attended the fireworks presentation in Pittsburgh, and are hoping to visit New York City before they return to their home countries. President Arnowitz and the members in attendance enjoyed meeting the students and wished them well during their visit.
