South Carolina Lions Clubs Host International Students Each year the South Carolina Lions host 10 to12 international students for a one month stay. Students arrived in South Carolina on Saturday, July 17th and were greeted by host families from all over the state. Each student spent two weeks with their SC families. On Saturday, July 31st the students and families gathered at Forest Lake Presbyterian Church in Columbia and enjoyed a wonderful spaghetti dinner with all the trimmings provided by the Columbia Northeast Lions Club. Many students were just meeting for the first time and this gave them time to get to know each other. The second half of their stay in South Carolina will be a “traveling camp” where the youths will travel across the state, enjoying the attractions and special offerings of our beautiful state. Bob and Jackie Cox of Blythewood hosted Simon Lindinger from Austria. Simon stayed with The Cox family for two weeks, enjoying water parks, baseball games, horseback riding, touring the State House, and many other great adventures. Bob became interested in the Lion’s Youth Exchange program during the Summer of 2009 when he vis- ited the Blythewood Lions Club meeting and helped feed lunch to the exchange students. After joining the Blythewood Lions Club, Bob and his wife, Jackie, and son, Joey, decided to host a student for 2010, as they had enjoyed hosting exchange students in the past. The Blythewood Lions Club hosted a pizza lunch for the “travelers” on Sunday, August 1st. A special thanks to the Springhill Suites for providing a wonderful room and amenities for the group.
