From Connie regarding HRRC Student Exchange Hosting Opportunity - "Our Club has a long history of hosting and sending international exchange students. Many of our members have hosted the students, have fond memories and have maintained friendships with them over the years. If you have ever been interested in being a host family or even just being involved with the program within the Club or at the District level, now is your opportunity! Help expand peace and understanding in the world, one person at a time!" The program will begin this fall.

Host Families Needed - Up With People Jan. 4 - Feb. 18

From Bev Mendel email: It is a convenient and fun way to learn about different cultures without leaving your own home - all you do is provide the young person(s) with a place to sleep, breakfast and dinner, transportation in the mornings around 8 am and in the evenings around 6 pm most days. We will be offering a regional shuttle service to transport students to and from daily activities. The cast is beginning their world tour here in Denver; they will spend most days learning their new show, learning how to spread the mission of Up with People, and getting to know their fellow cast members! If someone you know is interested in hosting an international participant or would like more information please contact Misa Grenier at 608-606-9694 or email mgrenier@upwithpeople.org with your name, phone and email. http://www.upwithpeople.org/
