Bellingham Bay Rotary club welcomed our Rotary Youth Exchange Short Term Exchange Program (RYE STEP) student, Paria, home from Italy and her Exchange sister from Italy, Sofia, to Bellingham during our club luncheon today. Paria shared highlights of her time in Italy as well as answered questions from members - as did Sofia. Very impressive young women!
