Manchester Lions Barry and Peggy Allen went from the Lions’ Council of Governor’s meeting/Hall of Fame dinner in Grand Rapids to Detroit Metro Airport to pick up their Youth Exchange students Yoshiyuki Yae from Kyoto, Japan, and Motoki Sato from Isumi, Japan. Both are freshmen in college. The boys will be here until August 27 and hope to meet many Lions and others during their visit. This will be the 35th students the Allens have hosted from nine different countries. The boys are very interested in meeting new people, so if you see us around town be sure to stop and say hi.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
