Chad Rosenberg (l) (member of Rotary club of Bala Cynwyd Narberth and YEP committee member). YEP was the reason Chad got involved in Rotary. His father is a member of the Rotary club of Philadelphia. Chad spent a month in Finland as a YEP student.

At the August Gundaker meeting, Chad explains "All students have to buy an open ended ticket, pay application fees, and purchase insurance for the trip. The total cost is always thousands of dollars. This is what the “Harry Rosenberg Rotary Youth Exchange Scholarship” is meant to cover so that costs would not prevent a student from participating in the program. Two years ago we held the first ever Rosenberg and Parker Charity Sporting Event fund raiser [trap shoot held in NJ]. In 2007 we raised $10,000; in 2008 we raised $9,000. The next event will be October 8th 2009."
