GSE Chair Bobby Brown
announced that David Cooper of the Tucker County Rotary Club was recently selected to lead a team of four young professionals in their journey to District 7000 in Puerto Rico in the spring of 2010.

In addition to Team Leader “Coop”, four team members were selected to travel to District 7000 from approximately April 4—May 4, 2010 with their visit culminating in attending their District Conference, and will share their experiences with us at our District Conference May 21—23, 2010 at the Days Inn in Flatwoods.

Christine Parrish of Fairview is being sponsored by South Fairmont Rotary Club. Currently employed in Morgantown, she is a WVU graduate and spent several months hiking thru South and Central America.

Sponsored by the Tucker County Club, Sara Litzau of Thomas, WV is currently employed with the Canaan Valley Institute, and enjoys working with children through hands-on experiences.

Josh Wanstreet, of Morgantown and sponsored by the Cheat Lake Club, plays traditional Appalachian old time fiddle and guitar, which will add a special entertainment element to the group.

Amanda Lachowski, of Kingwood, is also sponsored by the Tucker County Club. Currently working with the Friends of Deckers Creek, she is very interested in the history of culture of West Virginia and hopes to share that with her hosts in Puerto Rico.
