Exchange Student Host Families Needed

PAige & Karen BlakemanKaren Blakeman and her daughter Paige spoke this week about the exchange student the club has agreed to host. Karen and her daughters have offered to host the student for a portion of the coming school year.  We now need at least one - and preferrably two - host families to take the student into their home for a portion of the year. The student will attend high scholl in Fort Bend County - so host families living in the same area as the Blakemans would be ideal.

If you know of a fmily willing to discuss being a host for this exchange student, please contact Karen or Chuck Monteith.
