Betty Jo Anzaldua and her mother, Rebecca stopped by our October 25, 2009 Rotary meeting to thank our club for sponsoring Betty Jo for the Rotary Foundations' Group Study Exchange to India! Betty Jo works with La Conner Rotary member, Danya Wolf, who successfully recruited Betty Jo to apply. Betty Jo has served as a volunteer for the Rotary Club of La Conner's annual auction, serving as a hostess, among other duties.

Betty Jo wrote in her application letter to the Rotary Foundation that the main reason she sought to become a member of the Group Study Exchange "is to apply and share my vocational skills in a different environment and culture."

Betty Jo's background is as an AmeriCorp VISTA Volunteer that works to fight poverty. She completed her service through the Skagit County Community Action Agency's Literacy Program. She currently works for the Skagit County Health Department as a staff assistant. She is also beginning a career in real estate.
