The three girls include Heather Wilson of Brussels who will be visiting Jackson, Mississippi. She will be leaving for a three week trip on July 21. Darlene Raynard of Jamestown will be going to Finland for a two and a half week stay. She leaves July 14. Mary Ann Bernard of Brussels will be staying for three weeks in Texas and leaves July 7. While there, she will see Dallas, New Mexico, and the mountains. In order to qualify for this program students send their names into Lions International Exchange and the names are then sent on to the place they wish to visit. It is then up to the Lions in that country to decide whether or not to accept the student's application. The local Lions provide $400 of the costs for the girls and the girls provide their own spending money. A host family will meet each student, take them into their home and feed them. The girls have to make a little essay about their town, country and the weather here, in case they visit a youth camp or a Lions social event in the host country. Not only will Brussels be sending Lions exchange students, the village will also be playing host to some. One from Finland will be staying at the home of Jim Knight and another from Jamaica will be staying at the home of Bob Rowe.
