The Elizabethtown Rotary Club hosted Emma Boccacci from Italy in 2022 as part of the Short-Term Exchange Program. For 3 weeks, Emma was hosted by the Grinnell family. At the end of Emma's 3 weeks in the United States, Bailey Grinnell traveled to Italy with her to stay with Emma and her family for 3 weeks. While the experience alone was fantastic, the girls formed a strong bond! Emma returned to Elizabethtown to stay with the Grinnell family for a full semester in the Fall of 2023. Emma returned again in January 2024 and the Emma and Bailey also connected again this summer in Paris! These girls and their families are forever connected!
