The land of enchantment…

Ou President recently drove several Youth Exchange students to the District 5520 2015 convention held this year in Clovis. They had time for a short break at the Santa Rosa hole. 

The Blue Hole of Santa Rosa is a circular, bell shaped pool east of Santa Rosa, New Mexico. It is very popular destinations for SCUBA diving and training. The Blue Hole has a clear blue body of water with a constant 64 °F temperature and constant inflow of 3000 gallons per minute. While the surface is only 80 feet in diameter, it expands to a diameter of 130 feet at the bottom.

Youth Exchange is a study-abroad opportunity for young people who spend anywhere from a few weeks to a full year as an international student hosted by local Rotary clubs. More than 8,000 young people each year have experiences like these through Rotary Youth Exchange.
