Rebecca Chupick, a senior at Grosse Pointe South who won the Miss Grosse Pointe Farms title and competed for the title of Miss Michigan, was the quest speaker at the Oct. 6 luncheon meeing of Grosse Pointe Rotary. She has been active in Interact since her sophomore year. Our Club sponsored Ms. Chupick to attend the World Affairs Seminar that takes place in Wisconsin every summer. The Seminar is a Rotary 6270 Initiative and its purpose is to bring about better understanding of world problems among a select group of 200 young people from around the world. This year’s topic was World Health. 

The week consisted of: 1) speakers about mental, and physical health concerns, including the battle to eliminate polio; 2) interactive events that included games to understand the role of healthy friendships and relationships and a Q&A with a panel that consisted of two blind people and a person suffering from schizophrenia: and (3) social time to interact with students from around the world. 

Ms. Chupick was very grateful to have the opportunity to participate in the Seminar.
