Pet of The Week- Anna May!
Hi guys!! I'm Anna May and I'm SO excited to meet you! I just love people!
I am still learning manners and how to control my excitement so you may see me quite literally jump for joy at times, I promise it's something I'm working on though. I just need a nice human to come along and teach me some basic etiquette. I'm still young and very eager to learn!
You may wonder why I'm a year old and don't have much training, well, I have spent almost my whole life in shelters. I was brought to a shelter out of town at about 4 months old and that's all I've ever known or been exposed to.
I'm learning to go on walks now and how to walk nicely and the people here say I'm a quick learner! I am very curious of the other dogs and have even gotten to make a couple friends! I can be a little hesitant with female dogs and would probably do best with male dogs. I'm sure with the right human and some patience we could work through this. I haven't experienced those little fuzzy things called cats so I'm not sure I'd want to coexist with any, but again, maybe it's something I could learn to live with.
Give me a chance and I promise to be the best girl I can be!

Charlevoix Rotary-Rotary Youth Exchange
When? Late August – late November, 2025 (flexible)
Where? Family home within the Charlevoix school district with a CMHS student(s) Open your home to a high school senior from Argentina for ~3 months while each of you gets to learn about the other’s culture, and your family has the opportunity to build a special relationship with a vetted, well-supported young man curious about our country, his future, and high school in America.
Why? Open your home to a high school senior from Argentina for ~3 months while each of you gets to learn about the other’s culture, and your family has the opportunity to build a special relationship with a vetted, well-supported young man curious about our country, his future, and high school in America.
Why, Part 2: Help build international peace through cultural exchange; this has been the stated goal of Rotary International’s Youth Exchange program since it began in 1929.
Who? The Rotary Club of Charlevoix will host one student for the 2025-2026 school year across three host families. The student is a young man from Argentina. He is well traveled, avid downhill skier with a penchant for sprots, the gym, and “tech.” He is the oldest of 3 siblings (two sisters) and is described by his family as independent, mature, responsible, kind, empathetic and well-liked among his peers. A self described non-morning person who has nevertheless successfully managed to get up and get going on time, this exchange student currently attends a German school in Argentina where he has studied the German language for 8 years and English for 9 (including ongoing private study). His English speaking is “excellent” and his school “strongly recommends” him (the highest possible level of recommendation) as a candidate for Rotary International Youth Exchange.
Additional Details for your Consideration as 1 of 3 Potential Host Families:
• The Rotary Club of Charlevoix has a committee of 6 people focused on serving the needs of this exchange student and the host families. This includes a Rotary Youth Exchange Counselor, whose job it is to advocate on behalf of and regularly mentor the exchange student.
• The Rotary District (District 6290) in which Charlevoix sits has Youth Exchange committees of dedicated Rotarians with years if not decades of experience; they exist to support the local club committees like ours and exchange students.
• Rotary of Charlevoix is seeking a Charlevoix Middle High School family to host this young man from Argentina for the first 1/3 of his stay in Charlevoix. Please reach out to Dr. Rachel Sytsma-Reed, Charlevoix Rotary’s Youth Exchange Officer, at rachel@greatlakescfa.org or 616-460-9392 to learn more. You may also learn more and inquire at the Rotary District 6290 website: https://www.ridistrict6290.org/sitepage/rotary-youth-exchange . Thank you for considering hosting a Rotary International Youth Exchange student!
