Japanese exchange students looking for homestays


November 5th-8th a group of Japanese schoolchildren, aged 10-14, are coming to our area. They are hoping to experience our culture first hand by participating in a homestay.

Is your family interested in hosting a student or two for that weekend? This is a great opportunity for a cultural exchange. There are 60 in the group, but only six more families are needed, so act quickly!

Please contact Marie Lauderdale, a local ESL teacher and guide with PeopleLink, a non-profit organization that coordinates foreign exchange programs. Her phone number is 230-1121 or email her at marielauderdale@mac.com.
