- Charles Ruiz de Castilla gave an interesting Craft Talk at our last meeting. He talked to us about his current project, working with Starz Entertainment on a series that is being produced in Miami. There are 4 or 5 productions that will be filmed in Miami by the end of October, including a Tom Cruise movie, Charlie's Angels and Burn Notice. These productions have a trememdous economic impact on our community, adding jobs and bringing people in to hotels, restaurants and increased use of services.

Our Speaker Today:
Sebastian Rasfeld, Rotary Youth Exchange Student
Sebastian has been our Rotary Youth Exchange Student this year. He is from Cologne, Germany, and spoke to our club regarding his experiences. Before this experience, Sebastian didn't know anything about different cultures. He has now been in school where there are many African Americans and Hispanics, and he has been able to meet people of varying backgrounds. Sebastian has been able to travel in the U.S., enjoying skiing in Utah with his host family, Sea Camp in the Florida Keys, participating in the Youth Exchange trip to Hawaii, as well as visiting Washington, D.C., New York and the Bahamas.
He feels that he has grown a lot this year and this program is one of the best things that could have happened to him. Sebastian, met new people, has given presentations like the one at this meeting, and got to know the people from around the world who also participated in the program. One of his remarks was that in Germany, there doesn't seem to be as much of a national feeling. Sebastian plans to be a Rotarian in the future, and thinks that the Exchange Program plants the seed for future members.
