District 7890 has joined ESSEX, the Eastern States Student Exchange.  ESSEX is a collaboration of  Rotary Districts from Canada and the eastern US as far south as North Carolina, and Bermuda.  Established in the 1960's, ESSEX provides centralized Youth Exchange services to member Districts.  The ESSEX WEBSITE has information for students interested in participating, and for families interested in hosting.  Clubs and districts will also find helpful forms and information.
