Amy Currie was the guest speaker at the Thursday, Jan. 13 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club, held at the BTC Bank Community Room.
Mrs. Currie discussed the educational trips she is leading through World Strides. She is planning to lead one to Europe in May, to Washington D.C. in June and to Costa Rica, also in June. Student travel is important, she said, noting that 92 percent of students who have traveled view the world and travel itself differently. World Strides has 400 programs and has led trips for seven million students. It has 45 ground offices around the globe. The company puts a premium on safety, providing insurance for travelers and a full assortment of travel services.
The trip to Europe is scheduled for May 22-June 4 and will include London, Paris, Lucerne, Munich, Prague and Berlin. Tourists will sample the food, arts, historic sites and markets of Europe. The Washington, D.C. trip will be held June 6-10 and will include stops at Arlington National Cemetery, Mount Vernon, the Smithsonian Institute, Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, Capitol Hill, the Holocaust Museum, the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. The trip to Costa Rica, which will be held June 13-23, will include stops in Manuel, Totuguaro, Montedeveder and Arenal. That trip will include nature walks, surfing, dance lessons, tours, school visits and a cooking class.
Next week’s program will be presented by Amy May of the North Central Missouri Mental Health Center.
