Vamos ao Brasil!! Let's Go to Brazil!!

Boa noite (Good evening)! We are a GSE (Group Study Exchange) team chosen to go to the fabulous country of Brazil! We represent Rotary District 7570, and are completely stoked about this wonderful opportunity!!

Following up on our first ever post as GSE Team Brazil 7570, we would like to share an awesome weekend of team building! We spent all day Saturday getting to know one another and listening to our team leader, Russ Hauver, brief us on the experience that is: BRAZIL.

GSE Team Brazil 7570 took our bonding to a new level and participated in the annual Buffalo Throw after a super day of training. Hosted by Rotary Club of Marion, Va., our team was invited to a Buffalo Throw. Want to know what a Buffalo Throw is?

Can you say, "MEAT?" Wow! We definitely were treated well and much thanks needs to go to the Rotary Club of Marion, Va. The Buffalo Throw was a good experience for all of us and really helped GSE Team Brazil 7570 continue to get to know one another.

We have the best leader for our trip! Russ (the guy in cool shades) is very organized and has some AWESOME training planned for us! It is only fitting that Russ be the leader of our team, and we will strive to make him proud as we take our unique talents to Brazil for five weeks.

More to come, so keep in touch. As they say in Brazil: "Ate logo gente!"

Falou,

GSE Team Brazil 7570

Go Team Brazil!!!

Team Brazil Meeting November 2009

The GSE Brazil Team 7570 reunited today for the first time since our initial interviews held on October 18th in Roanoke, Va.

So, what is this GSE program?

The Group Study Exchange Program gives young business professionals an opportunity to study culture and their vocation abroad for four to six weeks. Our group will be gone for five weeks to Brazil!!

In preparation for our departure, we will be learning Brazilian Portuguese, Social and Business Etiquette, Brazilian Trends as well as getting to know the other team members (no one has been voted off the island). This evening, our team will bond at the Annual Buffalo Throw hosted by the Rotary Club of Marion, Va.

We thank Katie for bringing a bottle of Rebec Wine. Stay tuned to see how far we throw the buffalo!

Tchau! Tchau! Go TEAM BRAZIL!!!!
