Hosting an Inbound Student, Part Two
On March 11 we got an e-mail from Rotary saying that our chosen student has been confirmed, and on the 20th we received a call from another guy saying the same thing. He came over on Sunday to get some signatures from my parents on the Guarantee form, and on the Thursday before that to drop off a hard copy of our girl’s application. It also included her transcript and a copy of her passport, which were both pretty interesting. The coordinator sent Anna this e-mail on Friday:
Greetings from Cupertino California. I am Harvey B——- and I am the Cupertino Rotary Youth Exchange Officer who is organizing your stay. Irmgard L——- will be your Rotary Counselor while you are here. She will be meeting with you on a regular basis.
Cupertino is a small city in Silicon Valley. Cupertino is the home of Apple Computer and Hewlett Packard. We are a very mixed community mainly of white, Chinese and Indian. At the end of this email I will add some links to some web sites that will help you to know more about the area.
You will be attending Lynbrook High School in the Fremont Union High School District. Lynbrook is a high achieving high school with many varied programs and activities. Mr. Rich Amlin will be the vice principal you will be assigned to. He can help you to select the courses this spring that you can take next school year. I encourage you to email him soon to start the process so that you get the courses you want. Mr. Amlin’s email is: r—_amlin@fuhsd.org. Please take some time to explore the school’s web site. It is: http://www.lhs.fuhsd.org/home/.
I have also asked Mr & Mrs. Nguyen your first host family to be in touch with you to introduce themselves.
I am looking forward to meeting you.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns before your arrival.
Harvey
Prettyy exciting. Apparently a few of the Rotary people know Amlin pretty/semi well. Anna hasn’t replied back to Harvey yet, and my parents won’t be e-mailing her till she does that. I guessing her family was celebrating Easter. I’ve already written my e-mail, but I don’t want to send it till my parents send theirs.
