Notice: Student needs host for next year

Debbie Ventura, Regional Manager of Pacific Intercultural Exchange, asks that we post her announcement concerning hosting a high school foreign exchange student through their program. She states that there are several students very involved in different areas of music.

Pacific Intercultural Exchange (PIE), a non profit agency, is searching for volunteer host families in our area for high school foreign exchange students arriving in August. A volunteer host family provides a room, meals and a caring environment for their student. Host families are eligible for a $50./month charitable contribution for tax purposes. For more information about the program, contact Debbie at 1-888-296-1097 or Deborah@pieusa.org or the website: www.pieusa.org

PIE is fully accredited by CSIET and abides by US State Department guidelines.

Small town gets TV spot

Laura Hoffman, President of the Apollo Music Club in Bamberg, writes that WIS TV in Columbia did a story on small towns and included Bamberg in it. Featured was the Apollo Music Club! Members would like to share that experience with you. If you go to the WIS TV web site, you may be able to pull it up.

Harriet Coker also wrote about this experience saying that everyone thought it was an April Fools joke at first, but now they are very pleased with the outcome.
