SVGC Swim Team is having a Spring Social on Friday, April 17, 2009

Come join your fellow swim team parents to kick off the beginning (well, almost) of the new swim season. This get together is a chance to visit and exchange good cheer with parents from last year and new parents that are considering joining the team for the 2009 season. The details are:

When: Friday, April 17, 2009
8:30 – 10:00 pm

Where: Southern Village Club Pool
(rain location is the clubhouse)

What: Bring an appetizer to share and a friend who wants to learn more about swim team

As a fundraiser to help get the season started, the SVGC social committee will be selling donation tickets at the door. Each donation ticket can be redeemed for a free drink (margarita or Corona) and all proceeds will benefit the swim team. Also, members of the SVGC swim team board will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

We ask that you leave the children at home — this is an adults only event please.

COMMUNITY WATCH MEETING 3/30 7pm Building 101-Market Street

This is great way for you and your family to learn about another culture! The non-profit agency International Student Exchange (http://www.iseusa.com) is looking for host families in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro school district. ISE carefully screens and places H.S. students with host families in the U.S. The students come with their own spending money and health insurance. Host families simply provide room, board and a loving home. They have students from around the world including China, Vietnam, Thailand, Venezuela, Spain, Germany, parts of Scandinavia, Lebanon and Mexico. All types of families are welcome to host students including singles and couples with out children.

If you are interested in hosting a student please contact: Jennifer Leonard, Area Representative-ISE at 919-357-9190 or mahood7@nc.rr.com.
