The North Coast Rotary Club has hosted a youth exchange from Japan for the 2015-2016 school year. Nobu is returning to his home in Japan. On his last day he said, “I’m not sure if I’m leaving home or returning home!” Rotarians and friends met at Buffalo Wild Wings in Avon Lake to say “bon voyage”.
North Coast Rotary Club members, Rotarians, their families and friends gathered to welcome the new leadership team and to recognize several people who have strongly contributed to the Rotary Club’s initiatives.
After enjoying dinner at Sapori’s restaurant in Avon Lake, the Club recognized Kristin and Michael Kral with a Family and Community Service Award. The Kral family including their daughter Kenzie, have helped with the Rotary Youth Exchange program for the past year.
Mike Kral has also assisted North Coast Rotary by his work on our website, and various promotional communications. Congratulations to Michael and Kristin Kral!
