Kramb District Governor 2015-2016 Rotary Club of Gerrysburg [email protected] 717-476-1354 Dear Members of the Group Vocational Service Exchange Team from Australia. I would like to sincerely welcome you to Pennsylvania, especially South Central Pennsylvania and Rotary District 7390, which you will get to know very well in the coming weeks. As you may know, the GVSE program (formerly GSE) began in the 1960s and has made it possible for thousands of business and professional team members to see what few other travelers have experienced. Host country Rotarians provide team members with a rich panorama that examines the historical, professional, social, industrial, agricultural, religious, governmental, and political life of their country. Additionally, team members enjoy the opportunity to learn how their vocation is practiced in the host country and to participate in a service project. Indeed, the GVSE program affects team members so deeply that we can say with confidence that this program changes participants’ lives in a most beneficial way. I have no doubt that this will be the case for you. We have planned a wonderful but busy experience for you. It is important for you to meet as many Rotarians and families as possible during your visit. We know you will enjoy your visits to our cultural and historic sites. Arrangements have been made to meet your vocational interests as well. District 7390 GSE Committee Chairs Peg Sennett and Amy Chamberlin and I are available to answer your questions and to address any concern that might arise. We in District 7390 intend to ensure that your visit will be a very positive one for each of you I am looking forward to meeting all of you soon. In Rotary Service, John G. Kramb District 7390 Group Study Exchange Co-Chairs District 7390 Profile District 7390 is comprised of approximately 2300 Rotarians in 46 clubs and is divided into eight groups: Peg Sennett Inbound Amy Chamberlin Outbound With great pleasure and excitement we welcome the Group Vocational Service Exchange team, representing District 9640, to our beautiful south central Pennsylvania. The Rotarians of District 7390 have spent many hours preparing for your visit. It is our hope that, over the four weeks, you will experience life as we know it. We have filled each day with cultural, educational, professional and service opportunities to compare our two lifestyles and help you understand what it is like to be an American living and working in our part of Pennsylvania. We welcome you into our homes to view us in our family lives as mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. This personal experience is perhaps the most unique opportunity of this great program. Best wishes for a wonderful exchange, many lasting friendships, and a lifetime of memories.

OBJECTIVES The Rotary Group Vocational Service Exchange Program is a unique educational experience, for young business and professional persons, designed to advance international understanding and goodwill through an extensive and rigorous program of international travel and participatory activities through: Vocational Activities Cultural Experiences Fellowship Opportunities Service Project Participation Rotarian Involvement A BRIEF HISTORY: Europeans first came to Pennsylvania in the mid-1600’s. At that time, Pennsylvania was inhabited by Native American Indians. During the mid-1600’s, Pennsylvania traded hands between the Swedish and the Dutch and was finally controlled by the English in 1664. Owned by the English, in 1681, King Charles II gave William Penn a large area of land in return for a debt owed to Penn’s Father. This land, now known as Pennsylvania, came from the name “Penn’s Woodland.” Penn had a vision for the land, which would result in people of all nationalities and religious affiliations living with equal rights and freedoms. This desire for freedom, coupled with the vast resources of the land and the progressive thinking of its inhabitants, resulted in a state that was rich in diversity, economic resources and political activity. Philadelphia, also known as the “City of Brotherly Love,” was the site of many important historic events in our country’s birth. Both the Declaration of Independence (1776) and the Constitution of the United States (1787-88) were written, signed and ratified in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania is divided into 67 counties, which are further divided into municipalities that are either cities, boroughs, or townships. Pennsylvania is the 6th most populous of the 50 states. In 2010, total gross state product was $570 billon, ranking 6th in the nation. If PA were an independent country, its economy would rank as 18th largest in the world. An important part of the Industrial Revolution, today Pennsylvania combines its heavy industry with technology, manufacturing, tourism and agriculture. The state produces: mushrooms, apples, Christmas trees, laying chickens, milk, corn, grapes, and horse breeding. Our area of PA is considered the snack food capital of the world with the production of chocolate (including Hershey and M&M), pretzels and chips (including Utz and Snyders-Lance). Pennsylvania was also the site of much activity during the Civil War (War of the North and the South 1861 – 1865). Gettysburg was the site of a decisive Civil War battle in 1863, the same year that President Abraham Lincoln freed the South’s slaves with his Emancipation Proclamation.
