Fun & Frolics   -    Bartmann  used our visiting exchange student and her past host families as his subject and fined everyone with their lack of knowledge.  

Program     Flavia Fusaro, our 1982 exchange student from Brazil.  Flavia shared with us some of her experiences.   She returned to brazil, graduated college with a sociology degree,  married, moved to Florida and had her own practice for seven years, moved back to Brazil, translated over 2,000 movies from English to Portuguese,  and now interprets internationally for such things as famous individuals, government, medical and manufacturing.   She is very grateful for her experience here, which has truly changed her life.
