I am the exchange student who is now living in Geneseo since the 21st of August until maybe the 5-6th of July. I come from a town really close to Madrid in Spain and it is called Tres Cantos.
My town is bigger than Geneseo, we have a total of 4 public schools, their size is smaller than the G.C.S. and there are 3 private schools. There is a lake close to the sport center were you can run and swim. A difference regarding the sports is that they have nothing to do with the school. They are all different clubs and normally they don’t compete, they play against other places but there are no trophies.
In Spain we can start driving at the age of 18 but that does not stop us from going around, there is a very developed public transport system that lets you take the bus or the train to go wherever you need.
My Rotary club is quite recent. Its been 3 years since its started but it is one of the most
active clubs of the area. We have done the exchange program twice, including this year, and it has been very successful. We have had 6 students both years in the town from many different countries, the U.S., Canada, Australia, India.. and others.
In the first and second picture you can see some of the members of my club in my home town.
the 3rd picture are some of the exchange students that came last year to my town. Two of them
are from here U.S., one from Denver, Colorado called Kaila and the other from St Louis called Anne.
There is another girl from Canada, Sarah, from an Island called Prince Edward and the last one is
Adit from India.

Meet Anna Grace, Our Club’s Newest Member
My husband Jeremy and I moved to Geneseo in 1999. We met each other in Flagstaff, Arizona
while attending Northern Arizona University and we have lived many places in between.
I have been the director of the Wadsworth Library for 13 years and am very proud of the services the library provides to the community. Last year, the library was named as the Rochester Regional Library Council's Public Library of the Year, 2013.
I received my Masters in Library Science from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 1996 and have worked off and on in libraries since the age of 13. While earning my MLS, I would fantasize about Jeremy and I moving to a college town where I would work in the library and he would teach at the college. As luck would have it, Jeremy began teaching in the political science department of SUNY Geneseo in 2000 and in 2001 I was hired as director of Wadsworth Library. You may guess from my background that literacy is very important to me. I am also passionate about feeding the hungry.
I look forward to helping Rotary provide services in these areas, as well as, helping in any other way that I can.
March Report From Outbound Exchange Student Mary Rutigliano
Carnival pretty much lasted the whole month here (Spanish people love to party), and
I really enjoyed it. It was quite impressive. I’ve played in some more hotels and such
with my band and we were able to go up to the capital of the island and play in this
gorgeous auditorium! The weather is really starting to get nice here. Clear skies and
balmy temperatures. I’m really starting to master the subjunctive! I failed two classes
this trimester, Philosophy and History. Those are the classes based on straight writing
expression, so it’s really a mystery why I’m not acing them…..I was only one point
from passing, so I think if I keep on working, I’ll be able to pass. Going off to see a
procession and camp because I don’t have school this week!
