Hi!

Look at this list of great Japanese students we have coming to Virginia this summer!  Wow, what a variety of interest!  Please consider hosting.  Everything you need is attached.  If you hosted in the last two years you only need to complete the first two pages of the application and include a picture.  That's it!  PLEASE forward this email on to any families you know who have children age 11-18 (youth groups, sport teams, home-school groups, church groups, 4-H clubs, Scouts, etc.)  We also need families for 2 chaperones!  Thanks!

Happy Hosting!
