Rotary Youth Exchange
Support Ivan's Study Abroad Year

Ivan Santoyo is still fundraising for his upcoming study abroad program through Rotary Youth Exchange. We are very excited for Ivan, our first-ever Rotary Youth Exchange participant, and our club has committed to help Ivan pay his out-of-pocket expenses for the program.

To assist with fundraising, Ivan's mom, Aida, is selling cookies from her homestead bakery, Cookies Crumble, three dozen for $25. Please share the link among your family and friends to help offset Ivan's costs. Several of our Rotarians can attest to how good her cookies are – with locally sourced ingredients, baked with love.

Ivan frequently volunteers at Rotary produce distributions and a range of other community service activities; please support him as his year in France comes closer. If you are not interested in purchasing cookies but would like to help, there are several ways to donate:

• GoFundMe
• CashApp: $kosmoscrab 
• Zelle: 229 319 4763
• Bring cash or check to one of our weekly meetings and we will pass the funding along to Ivan and Aida.

Learn more about his journey so far.
