Plans are to put together a talented team with a broad range of professions to represent District 5440 in Finland. We will compile a presentation to be given to the Finnish Rotary Clubs that will demonstrate the personal information about the team members, the diversity of the economies in the various communities and the landscape of our district. Our team will learn similarities and differences between professions in Finland and the USA. Our team will also learn the cultural ways of the Finns as well as demonstrate some of the American customs. Ultimately, our team will be deeply involved with the Finish GSE team when they are in our district.
