Band Parent Meeting Monday August 5th 7pm in LHS Band Room

Fw: Possible host families for other Japanese Students!!

----- Forwarded Message -----

Band families, a new opportunity to host students and support the band has come up!

Please see the attached email from Yoshi Nakasone, who is the travel agent contact for our hosting students from Japan.  They are in need of a couple of families to host some high school boys from a group from Japan from Sunday July 28 to Saturday August 10th.  For these students, each family will get paid $325.00.  This is different from the students that we are hosting August 9,10, 11 & 12.  Some of you may find this a good opportunity as a fundraiser or this might work for some of our Alumni families.  In either case, please reply directly to Yoshi Nakasone.  

Also, thank you to those families who responded to our last email as we now have enough host families for our August group.  

Sincerely,

Don Emmons

Dear Don-san,

I hope everything goes well for you and your family.

We will take care for other group from Japan. (Yokosuka Group – not Takayama)

They are high school students (male) and 16 or 17 years old.

The date-in will be 7/28(Sun) for 13 days. (the date-out: 8/10 – Sat)

We have to find three more families by Friday (7/26)...

1. Can you find the student for  Yokosuka group?

2. Worst story...is it possible to ask to the attached families for Takayama Group?

We have been spending hard time to find the family for "Yokosuka" and

we need your help!! If you can find some family,

For Host family = $25 x 13 days

For your NPO = $100.00 / family

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you for your help under your valuable vacation.

Best regards,

Yoshi – MEM

Host families still needed!

We are still in need of 2 more host families for our student guests coming from Takayama, Japan in August.  We need one more family to host 1 or 2 Female students and one more family to host 2 Male students.  The Japanese students arrive on Friday afternoon, August 9th just before the end of our band camp rehearsal that day and then leave on Monday morning, August 12th, just before the beginning of Band camp rehearsal that morning.  

If you have not had the opportunity to host students from a foreign country, I think that you will find it to be a wonderful experience.  We have activities planned for everyone each day that the students are here with us.  All we need are two more host families to complete our housing needs for these students.  

Thank you to everyone who has already volunteered to host students this coming August.  I really appreciate your support of this opportunity.

Finally, I am looking forward to seeing all of you at our next LHS "Lion Pride" Band Parent meeting on Monday August 5th from 7 - 8pm in the Band Room at Littleton High School.

Sincerely,

Don Emmons, Instrumental Music Director

Fw: Hosting for Students from Takayama, Japan - URGENT!

All LHS Band Parents,

As most of you are aware, we are hosting 23 students from Takayama,
Japan next month.  The students, ages 13 - 17, will be arriving on
Friday afternoon, August 9th and will be with you until Monday morning
August 12th.  I just received the student housing list from Takayama,
Japan and we will need the following hosting arrangements:

3 families able to house a single female student each
7 families able to house 2 female students each
3 families able to house 2 male students each

So far, the following LHS Band families have indicated their
willingness to host students from Takayama, Japan next month:

Emmons - 2 female students
Volling - 1 female student
Shigaya - 2 students (either male or female)
Coleman - 1 or 2 female students
Staab - 1 female student
Vander Leest - possibly 1 female student
Elliott - possibly 2 male students
Calkins - 2 students (either male or female)

We still need 5 more families who would be willing to host 2 students,
either 2 boys together or 2 girls together.  Please let Mr. Emmons
know by July 19th if you would be able to host a few students for us.
Also, feel free to contact Mr. Emmons if you have any questions or
concerns.  A couple of reminders, we do have activities planned for
the entire time the students are here with us so that you do not feel
that you have to entertain the students all on your own.  Also, since
the students are here to have an experience with an American family,
anything you do works out very well for this weekend.  Finally, this
is a fund-raiser that will benefit the entire band program, so we
really do need your help.

Also, we will be having a Band Parent work day on Saturday, August 3rd
from 9:30am to 2pm.  You can come anytime and there will be projects
for everyone to work on.  Guys, bring some tools!!

Thank you so much, hope to see you all in August.
