May 7, 2012:  Rima Gedeon, a GRSP student from Lebanon, gave a report to the group about her nine months in the United States at the Monday lunch meeting of the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville.  Rima has been co-sponsored by the Lawrenceville club, along with the Buford/NGwinnett, Gwinnett Mosaic, and South Hall clubs.  She completed two semesters at Brenau University in Gainsville and will be returning home after the District Conference. In her slide presentation she first showed pictures of her native Lebanon, describing its location, population, flag symbolism, money, religions, and culture.  She then shared photos of various holiday experiences with her host families (specifically Halloween and Christmas) and of the many places she was able to visit, including Chicago, New Orleans, New York City, Savannah, Tybee Island, Atlanta, and Destin, FL.  She said she would always remember this amazing experience, but most of all she would remember the amazing people.  After Rima fielded questions from the audience, her host, Carolyn Hill, proclaimed the money for this program very well spent and praised Rima as a particularly stellar GRSP student.
