There are 15 recognized languages and more than 100 dialects spoken in India, but the group exchange team from Gujarat, India that visited the Weston Rotary Club on Friday spoke English-with a dash of American slang they have picked up in the last month. Since arriving in Rotary District 603 on April 27, the Indians have been staying with American Rotarian families and visiting cities in the area of the district, which includes most of northwest Missouri. Joseph Collison, Rotary chairman for the Weston visit, explained that the Rotary exchange program has been going on for years among Rotary districts around the world. “It’s aim is to promote world understanding,” he explained.
