Program: Roi ReFaeli, an exchange student from Israel, led a power point presentation/discussion about his homeland country of Israel.

 

Roi’s presentation touched on a variety of topics including: demographics, required military service, worldwide medical involvement, Roi’s personal story, and current issues. Highlights included: military service specifics and alternatives. Israel’s “Only one call away” program for helping all in need of medical care, and a discussion about the recent U.S. Middle East Peace Proposal. A question and answer period followed the power point presentation. Rotarian Dr. Eugene Sapozhnikov is hosting Roi for his year of study in Connecticut.
