Subject: German Rowing Student needs Host Family
Good Morning:
I'm hoping you can help with identifying a host family for this German Rowing Student - Neelie is one of our exchange students coming to the US for an academic year - immersing herself in the American Schools, Communities and families in hopes of learning and better understanding the American culture and people.
Because of Neelie's special interest in rowing, I thought I would reach out to various Rowing Clubs to help get the word out about Neelie's need for a host family.
Please share the information and profile below with your members and constituency. Any one interested in learning more about Neelie and the opportunity to host should contact me- Myke Harris-Long, immediately at 678.413.2131 or via email at harrislong@.... As you can well imagine we are under a tight deadline to get students like Neelie placed before school starts.
Thanks so much for your consideration of this request.
