Megan’s Aussie Article

Many Rotarians will remember our recent guest speaker Megan Voelkel, one of the Rotary Ambassadorial scholars who recently spoke at our club.

To recap, Megan is from Mississippi USA, and her sponsor club is Vestavia Hills is D6860. As our guest speaker she talked about her time here in Australia, having arrived at the start of 2009 (and will be  leaving again in June this year). After studying at university in Birmingham, Megan went on to do an internship and then be a journalist at the Washington Post, spending much time in Washington during the primary race and then presidential race leading up to Obama’s election.

Megan also was part of our team helping out at the Sport For Change BBQ on the weekend. She mentioned to me that she’s about to have an article published in the Washington Post (on the front of the Travel section) about her trip through central Australia. It appeared on Sunday.
