COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA—The Kiwanis Club of Costa Mesa hosted a lunch on Jan. 12 to honor this years' Australian exchange students from Hoppers Crossing Secondary College near Melbourne in the state of Victoria.
This is the fourth year of Kiwanis of Costa Mesa's involvement with this program, which also includes visits to Australia by students from Estancia High School. The seven students from Australia stayed with host families in Costa Mesa for two weeks. They attended classes at Estancia High and visited many local venues throughout Orange County.
Charlie Markel, this years' president of the Kiwanis of Costa Mesa, presented the Australian exchange students with a certificate of appreciation for the presentation that they made to the club about their school and Hoppers Crossing. Kiwanis of Costa Mesa also supports the Estancia Exchange Students who will voyage to Australia this summer.
