Our Rotary district has arranged a Friendship Exchange with Russian District 2223.  This is a large district in the center of Russia. You see it on the map from Omsk to Irkutsk.  A group from Russia will visit our district from May 22 to June 5, 2020. We will send a group of Rotarians and guests to their district from July 10 to 23, 2020.  Our trip will include a short pre-trip around the Golden Circle near Moscow. We will fly to Omsk, then take the Trans-Siberian Railroad to Novosibirsk and Irkutsk.  We will also see Lake Baikal. For those so inclined, a trip to Kamchatka for a Rotary sponsored vacation could follow from July 24 to 31.This peninsula, on the far eastern edge of Russia, is known for wilderness and volcanoes, much like Alaska. All Rotarians are invited to take a vacation to Kamchatka, whether you are on the exchange or not. The web site below is a description of this trip for this year.
