Today’s Program

Our exchange student, Gloria Barbarino, provided the club with an entertaining presentation.  She is from Sicily, where her mom works at the parliament, and her dad works with a pharmaceutical company.  Gloria shared with us about herself, her family, her home town and her year in Des Moines.  From her presentation one could tell she had an incredible time while in the United States, made some great friends and is an open, bubbly, and friendly young lady.
