Host a European Exchange Student This Summer

Open your homes and hearts to a foreign exchange student this summer! Your family can make a difference by hosting an exchange student and fulfilling their dream of living with an American family. 

I am working with three 18-19 year old Spanish girls who would like to spend 3-4 weeks with a family from late July to Late August. They would like to be in a home with another teenager. The student becomes part of your home and family during their visit. This is a wonderful way to share experiences across cultures and to contribute in a small but significant way to global peace and understanding. 

American teenagers whose famililes host exchange students increase their global understanding, make a friend in another country, build their self confidence and even improve their foreign language skills! 

If interested, please contact me for more information. (Additional hosting opportunities available as well for families without teenagers).

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

New Canaan hockey players are better off playing at Sono, Ridgefield or Stamford Youth Hockey.

Has everyone noticed this? Anyone want to post a photo here for those who haven't?

welcome to New Canaan. We can waste it better than any other. Anyone need trees. I understandRead More that if you write a letter to the tree warden he will immediately put them in or take them out if you so desire. I would like 4 trees, free alarm monitoring and a sidewalk please.
