HARRIS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT PUTS ASTRODOME PLAN ON NOVEMBER BALLOT
If approved by voters in November, the repurposing of the Astrodome would take approximately 30 months, allowing it to play a key role in the hosting of Super Bowl LI in February 2017.
Court Votes Unanimously to Allow Voters Opportunity To Decide on Future of the “Eighth Wonder of the World” Harris County Commissioners Court voted unanimously this morning to give Harris County voters the opportunity to decide the fate of the Harris County Domed Stadium, the world-famous Astrodome, owned by county taxpayers. The court’s decision means voters will decide on November 5th whether to allow the county to issue up to $217 million in bonds to finance the redesign and redevelopment of the former stadium, which has remained empty and largely unused since 2009. The exact amount of bonds to be issued and the amount of the required property tax increase to pay off those bonds has not yet been determined, but would be part of the ballot language presented to voters. “One of the most frequent questions I have heard in my six and a half years as county judge has been ‘What are we going to do with the Astrodome’,” Emmett said. “Now the voters will finally get to decide.” After a lengthy multi-year process in which the county unsuccessfully sought private proposals with funding for the Astrodome, the Harris County Sports and Convention Corporation unveiled a proposal in June called “The New Dome Experience.” The plan calls for converting the Astrodome to a modern multipurpose venue with open space that could play host to a multitude of sports, exhibitions and community events, including activities of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Our children are back in school. Please watch carefully & drive safely!

Copperfield Place Village (CPV) A WORD FROM THE BOARD
As of this issue, CPV has collected over 90% of the HOA dues. However, there are a few homeowners that are still seriously past due. Legal fees are stacking up and liens are in process. If you are one of these homeowners, we urge you to contact SCS immediately to avoid any further legal action. If you have received a letter from the HOA’s legal attorneys, we urge you to contact them immediately. If you have any issues to report or want to discuss, please feel free to bring them up at the next scheduled Board meeting (currently scheduled for September 23rd). Contact SCS so that they can put your name on the agenda. The web should also have the time and date posted of the next Board meeting scheduled or you may also contact SCS. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, ALL REGULAR BOARD MEETINGS WILL NOW BE HELD AT SCS’ OFFICES ON 7170 CHERRY PARK DRIVE INSTEAD OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. (THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE “ANNUAL” BOARD MEETING.)
(CPV) POOL & PARKS COMMITTEE
Cameras are still monitoring activity, so be aware that you are on tape. We are considering and proposing additional lighting for some areas around the pool and parks we feel are necessary for security and safety reasons. The pool will remain open at its regular scheduled days and times until Tuesday after the Labor Day weekend. It will be closed for the season thereafter. Several cars have been towed again this month due to illegal after hours parking (9 PM). Do not use the park for a “hang out” after 9 PM.
(CPV) TRASH DAYS!!!!!!
Please remember that trash days are now scheduled for Tuesdays and Fridays. Please do not set out garbage over the weekends. Set the trash out the night before trash pick up. Dogs and cats wander the neighborhood during the day and love to get into the trash. If you are trimming your trees, remember that the limbs must be bundled in 4-foot sections or they will not be picked up by the trash service.

It is allowable to park your vehicle in the street; however, DO NOT park it in such a way that emergency vehicles cannot drive through or block wheelchair accessibility! Fire trucks are not able to get through when vehicles are parked on BOTH sides of the street and it becomes too narrow.

Easton Commons Village (EC) POOL NEWS
The Easton Commons community pool will close at the end of the month. We hope everyone who used the pool kept cool and enjoyed yourselves. We also hope that you enjoyed the improvements to the pool and the park, which are ongoing.
(EC) EMAIL LISTING
Join our email network at easton.commons@yahoo.com. Just send an email message requesting to be added and you will be.
(EC) GARAGE SALE
Easton Commons will be open for its semi-annual garage sale on Saturday, October 26, 2013. This is not a “Community Garage Sale.” Rather it is individual garage sales at the homes of participating residents. This is in accordance with the HOA Board decision and wishes of the preponderance of the responding residents. Anyone wishing to participate will simply set up his or her wares in the garage or yard of his or her own home. The garage sale hours will be 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM. The Homeowner’s Association is asking that all sale items and related paraphernalia be removed from public view not later than 6:00 PM the day of the sale. Your cooperation in making this event a success is greatly appreciated.
(EC) TRASH PICK UP REMINDER
Trash pickup days are Tuesdays for trash and Fridays for trash and recycling. Trash receptacles must be stored out of sight. They must be placed at the curb no earlier than the evening before scheduled pick up and removed not later than the day of pick up. This means that bags that are filled and placed on the street after lawn service on Wednesday must be removed until Thursday evening.

(EC) CRIME WATCH
The Block Captain Program is off and running in Easton Commons. Block captains may be coming around to your doors and introducing themselves as Block Captains. It will not hurt their feelings if you ask for confirmation that they are who they say they are. Once you have become convinced of their authenticity, please cooperate to the extent that keeps you comfortable. Interested persons should send an email to Ken Johnson at admin@ eccrimewatch.com.
(EC) DEED RESTRICTIONS
Every month SCS Management rides through Easton Commons to check for Deed Restriction violations. The Deed Restrictions set the standard on how our property is taken care of. A well maintained community will impact the property value of your home, which is most likely the largest investment you have. If you have received a letter from SCS regarding a Deed Restriction violation, please take care of the violation as soon as possible. If you are having problems getting an issue resolved, please contact SCS Management to inform them and to schedule a timeline for the correction. If you ignore the letter, additional letters are sent out which can result in additional expenses, which will be added to your account. If you are not sure of the Deed Restrictions, you can access them on www. copperfield.org under Easton Commons.
(EC) HOME IMPROVEMENTS
To make changes to the exterior appearance of your home (i.e. painting, new windows, new roof, new fence, etc.), an ARC Application must be filled out and sent to SCS Management. All exterior changes must be approved via an ARC Application. A copy of this form can be found at www.copperfield.org under Easton Commons.

(MG) POOL HOURS
We hope you all came out and enjoyed the community pool this summer! The pool will be open until Labor Day, Monday, September 2nd from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
(MG) LAWN MOWING
With the fall upon us, our lawns do not need to be mowed quite as often, but there are still extra things you can do. Here are some suggestions from the Lowes website, besides the mowing, trimming and raking, to give your landscape a perfectly pruned look: 1. Remove leaves and sticks. A chipper/shredder can convert most small lawn debris to usable mulch or compost. 2. Prune dead or diseased limbs from trees and shrubs. Deadhead or remove spent annuals. 3. Clean up any edging that has started to look ragged from contact with mower blades or encroaching turf grass. A power edger can quickly create clean lines. 4. Wash the driveway. Seal an asphalt drive if needed and if you have time. You can also seal and patch concrete drives. 5. Clean the house itself, including mildewed brick or siding and areas of the foundation where rain may have splashed up mud. A pressure washer can make quick work of a cleaning job. Make sure you use the proper nozzle to avoid damaging siding. Clean gutters and downspouts, too (inside and out). 6. Add a new layer of mulch to the planting beds and paths. For an even quicker fix, stir up existing mulch to make it look fresh. 7. Add containers with in-season flowering or foliage plants. These will help to draw the eye away from the spots you’d rather not have people looking at. 8. Clean and seal your deck, especially if you’re planning an outdoor gathering. 9. Install low voltage lighting for security and to highlight your home’s best features. 10. Build simple enclosures for the service areas such as trash cans and utilities. Lattice or fence panels can be installed relatively quickly.

(MG) BOARD MEETINGS

(MG) TRASH REMINDERS
Please store your trash cans out of view from the street. Behind a fence works well. Also, if you have lawn clippings from mowing, ask your lawn service to leave them back by the fence so you don’t have to haul them so far to get them out of sight. If they are left at the curb for days before trash pick up, then they are visible to everyone driving down the street or trying to walk around them on the sidewalk. Imagine if every house stored a sack of trash at the curb all the time, no thanks. Please do your part in keeping Middlegate beautiful. Thank you!
Northmead Village (NM) NORTHMEAD GARAGE SALE
The semiannual neighborhood garage sale will be held on October 5th from 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM. The Homeowners’ Association will post signs to advertise the sale. Please remember that per deed restrictions, garage sales are only permitted during the community sales that are held in the spring and fall.
(NM) GARBAGE CANS
GARBAGE CANS MUST BE STORED OUT OF SIGHT! It is a violation of deed restrictions to leave cans in view on non-garbage pick-up days. There is a fine assessed for each violation notice a resident receives. This is a growing problem in our neighborhood. Deed Restriction investigators are going to become more vigilant in citing the homes in violation. You are encouraged to report homes that are chronic violators to Graham Management. A link to contact Graham Management is also on the Copperfield website. You will remain anonymous. Your reports are appreciated.

(SD) OCTOBER - THE MOST CRITICAL FINANCIAL MONTH OF THE YEAR
Regardless of your financial standing, October is a critical month for determining how your bank account will look and affect your life over the next few months - and even next year (which, by the way, is less than 90 days away). Marketers have realized that as we approach the last few months of the year, we tend to let our emotions influence our spending at a new level. What this really means is that they’ve been carefully studying our habits. They know the value of having thought-out and well-executed plans. There are two options - plan or don’t plan. The lack of planning in October can really set you back financially and cause stress through the holiday season. Therefore, have a reality check with your money and plan accordingly now before the temptation to overspend is here in full force ... times three. On the flip side, your diligent planning and focus will pay off and set you up for fun times with less money worries! Even if you have written down your goals and refocused your monthly budget, every month is different and requires your undivided attention once again.
September 2013
Copperfield
And when you throw a full holiday season in the mix, you better believe extra attention is vital!
(SD) WHO WANTS TO BE PAYING FOR CHRISTMAS IN APRIL? NO ONE
So before Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and all the little “emergencies” in between get here, sit down, write down a separate plan for your holiday money and pinky-swear, spit-shake or whatever you must do to establish that you and your family are committed to this plan. Don’t let your guard down now so close to game time. Stay diligent so you can reap the rewards of your hard work! Remember, it doesn’t have to be complicated. Just a simple agreement of “We are going to spend X amount of dollars for gifts, X amount for potluckgathering food and X amount for traveling” will be sufficient. But you must take care of all the ongoing necessities first before you budget these fun things. How can you have a debt-free holiday? Try these suggestions: 1. Save up. Spending cash instead of using credit for your holiday purchases allows you to avoid holiday debt all together. If you haven’t started saving, put aside something each paycheck starting now and use that to finance your holiday purchases. Many employers will allow you to have more than one direct deposit. Open a savings account at another bank and designate an amount that you feel comfortable saving. 2. Set a budget before you shop. Setting a spending limit and sticking to it will keep you from overspending. Be disciplined and don’t go over your budget, no matter what. 3. Make a list. Santa makes a list and checks it twice, so should you. Even though you might feel compelled to splurge on everyone in your life, you don’t have to. People appreciate simple and meaningful over expensive and useless.
Copperfield
4. Use layaway. Layaway disappeared for a few years, but a lot of big retailers, like Wal-Mart, Sears, Toys R Us and Marshalls, have brought it back for the holiday season. Starting early means you can put a little toward your holiday purchases each month. In the end, all your purchases were made and you’ll be free of holiday debt. 5. Don’t shop for yourself. Avoid the “one for you, one for me” shopping mindset. You’ll end up spending double what you would if you’d shopped only for the loved ones in your life. You have all year to shop for yourself. 6. Ignore “big” sales. More often than not, they’re not really sales at all. Those “Buy 2, Get 1 Half Off” deals only trick you into buying more than you would otherwise. Remember, stick to your list. 7. Shop online first. The internet makes it easy to shop around. It also makes it harder to buy on impulse. Since most retailers have inventory on their websites, you can decide exactly what you want to buy before going to the mall. 8. Leave your credit cards at home. You’ll have a hard time charging them up if they are at home. If you must use credit for your purchases, pick one credit card and stick to your spending budget. 9. Don’t buy if you can’t afford to pay. Keep in mind that when you use credit, you’re borrowing from your future income. You know your finances better than anyone. Only charge what you can afford and you’ll avoid paying on your holiday debt until the next holiday season.
(SD) THE POOL
What a great pool season we had this year! Many families enjoyed the pool during the summer. The Dive-In Movie Nights were a huge success and we plan to bring them back next year. Congrats to the Southdown lifeguards for receiving “Pool of the Month” in July by Sweetwater Pools. With many pools to choose from, Southdown looked great and all levels were in check. Great Job!

It’s tree trimming time in Southdown Village! No homeowner wants overgrown trees in their yard as they are unsightly and dangerous. Trees are pruned to increase safety and reduce the potential of damage to property. Homeowners can prune small branches and limbs themselves, using inexpensive hand tools like loppers, handsaws and trimmers that have a lopper and saw mounted on a long pole. Large branches, high trees, large limbs over a structure or any trees growing near electrical lines, should be pruned by insured professionals.
(SD) FROM THE BOARD
Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray baking dish with cooking spray. Finely grate walnuts, spread on plate and set aside. Mix mayonnaise and horseradish mustard together. Coat chicken with mixture and walnuts. Bake for 25 minutes, turning chicken halfway through.
Quick Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients: • 1 C. peanut butter • 1 C. sugar • 1 egg
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Take teaspoonfuls at a time, roll them into a ball and drop onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Makes 15 cookies.

Southdown Village continues to attract new families and we welcome one and all.

(WC) NATIONAL NIGHT OUT (NNO)
Neighborhood Night Out will be celebrated on Tuesday, October 1, 2013. Please mark this date on your calendar and get to know your block captain. Many streets in Westcreek do not have a block captain. Serving as a block captain takes very little time, but it is a significant contribution to the neighborhood.
Great job to all those selected for August YOM consideration! The Landscape Committee as well as everyone in Westcreek really appreciates your efforts in making your home and our community beautiful!
If you would like more information on the role of a block captain and the minimum time requirement involved, contact Larry Berger at larry.berger@ sug.com. Also, for National Night Out, you don’t have to be a block captain to organize the gathering of your neighbors on your street. Contact Larry Berger for the details.
As a reminder, please be on the lookout and treat for lawn areas to prevent cinch bug infestations. We have had several hot and dry days this summer, which are perfect for cinch bugs to thrive in. You may have treated your lawn in August, but there is still enough very warm days in September that can allow unwanted infestations to occur.
WESTCREEK LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE
September/October is when we typically begin to see a significant increase in Brown Patch fungus, even if rain has been scarce. Remember that this problematic fungus will likely re-appear where you have had it before.
Meetings - 2nd Monday of every month @ 6:30 PM Location - Forest Heights Pool Meeting Room The Westcreek Landscape Committee meets on the 2nd Monday every month. If you are interested in helping make a difference in our neighborhood and would like to become part of the group, we welcome and encourage your attendance and hope to see you there - there is room for you! Comments, suggestions or questions regarding common areas or other landscape topics are always welcome. Please contact Graham Management Inc. at 281-497-4320 - which will forward your message, request or information to the committee. A member will then get back with you to answer your questions or concerns.

(WC) SEPTEMBER GARDENING TIPS
The best strategy for limiting and controlling Brown Patch: • Change your watering schedule by eliminating any evening watering sessions. Leaving the lawn wet in the evening is an open invitation for Brown Patch to appear. • Alter your fertilizer in use to limit the amount of nitrogen to only a “slowrelease” combination. • For prevention, use a product that contains Banner, Terrachlor, Bayleton or Benomyl. Follow manufacturer instructions, but realize you may need to treat all affected areas more than once.
September 2013
15
• For treatment, Fertilome liquid systemic, Daconil or a double dose or Terrachlor should help stop any apparent signs from growing or increasing. • Liquid treatments do a better job of reaching down into the root areas of the treatment areas, but the affectivity last only 2-3 weeks, requiring repeated treatments. Granular treatments take longer to take hold and are slow to reach down into all affected root areas, but provide a longer lasting solution. A staggered, 2-part solution that includes an initial liquid treatment followed by a granular treatment 2-3 weeks after the initial treatment provides best results. • If you have fungus in mulch areas, you can simply turn the mulch over to bury the affected area if the fungus has not yet dried or you can do nothing. Fungus in mulch areas typically disappears after 36 hours and is not cause for alarm nor will it cause damage.
Fall in Love with Your New Smile! • Small comfortable, clear and silver braces • Faster results due to efficient, high-tech wires • Convenient, in-office digital x-rays and records • Affordable, flexible, no interest payment options
You should have fertilized your lawn in July using a slow-release ratio product (19-4-10 or close is good), so get ready to winterize in October/ November. Make sure what you apply in those cooler months is engineered for winterization as summer feed will not prepare your lawn adequately for the cooler months we have been yearning for since March. Late floral blooms may still be enjoyed - enjoy them and prune properly to allow for optimal growth plant shaping/balance.

Football (and marching band) season is back! A time of year most of us welcome with open arms, but try not to allow game day (or night) to interfere too much with enjoying your yard/garden activities. Remember school is also back in session. Be sure to adjust any watering schedules that occur in the morning hours to not occur as children are walking to bus stops. Drive safely and be aware of little ones during school hours. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• END OF INDIVIDUAL VILLAGE NEWS •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Leaders from all around Copper Creek Meadows got a chance to meet each other at an event on August 18th. Copper Creek Meadows includes the former Bear Creek, Bluebonnet Meadows and Copper Corners service units, so we cover a wide area up and down Hwy 6. We are all looking forward to the new year of Girl Scouting and it was a great chance to get acquainted and make some plans for the 2013-2014 year! To quote from the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council website, “Girl Scout programs are adapted to meet the developmental, educational, emotional and social needs of girls at five age levels.” Girls may become Girl Scouts at any age level and no previous Scouting experience is required. • Girl Scout Daisies are in kindergarten and first grade (roughly ages 5-7). • Girl Scout Brownies are in grades 2nd-3rd (ages 7-9) • Girl Scout Juniors are in grades 4th-5th (ages 9-11) • Girl Scout Cadettes are in grades 6th-8th (ages 11-14) • Girl Scout Seniors are in grades 9th-10th (ages 14-16) • Girl Scout Ambassadors are in grades 11th-12th (ages 16-18)
CYPRESS FALLS STUDENT ELECTED TO INTERNATIONAL POSITION
by Hannah Norem, Cypress Falls Key Club Editor Cypress Falls High School senior Roshni Chandwani was elected as one of eleven Key Club International Trustees at the Key Club International Convention (ICON) held July 3rd - 7th in Washington, D.C. In order to win, Chandwani had to receive an endorsement from her home Key Club District at District Convention (DCON) in Dallas in April. After her endorsement at DCON, she submitted her intent to run at the international level of Key Club before officially campaigning at ICON this month. Finally, she made it past the regional caucuses before being elected on Saturday, July 6th. As an International Trustee, Chandwani will become a figurehead of Key Club International and represent the Kentucky-Tennessee, Pacific Northwest and Eastern Canada Districts on the international level. “When I walked into Mrs. Kiklas’ room at Cy-Falls three years ago for my first Key Club meeting, I never imagined I would get this far in such a wonderful organization. Being elected as an International Trustee is honestly a dream come true for me,” says Chandwani. “I have to pinch myself every day because it doesn’t seem real.”

Girl Scouting in the United States began in 1912 and it is continually changing and evolving, while remaining true to its core values, the Girl Scout Promise and Law. Girl Scouts are active girls! Girl Scouts in San Jacinto Council have opportunities for many outdoor activities (sailing, horseback riding, canoeing, archery and more) at our beautiful camps. We also explore nature in our own backyards and neighborhoods, work on service projects and learn new skills. Girl Scouts also share in the traditions of the worldwide Scouting movement. Copper Creek Meadows serves girls in the residence areas for the following schools: Lieder, Metcalf, Tipps, Wilson and Texas Christian School, Birkes, Fiest, Lowery, Horne, Owens, Kirk, Hairgrove, Lee, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and Christian Life Center Academy. And that isn’t all, we also serve the corresponding middle and high schools! Home school and private school students are always welcome! Rally Days (when we recruit new leaders and form new troops) will be scheduled soon, so be on the lookout for more information! Don’t forget that many of our most exciting opportunities are available to older girls. Wider Opportunities, Council trips and special interest groups (backpacking, archery, Green Starlettes and more) are activities in which our Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors participate.

“I’m In PAIN” Can Chiropractic Help ME ? We are often asked, “What’s the best way of finding out whether or not a doctor of chiropractic can help my problem?” We believe the answer can be found in a complete chiropractic consultation and examination, including x-rays. And to help find out for sure, we will do a complete consultation and examination, including x-rays, if necessary, (procedures that normally cost $187.00 or more) for $25.00. We will make this special program available through September. The only exception to the offer involves personal injury cases (workers’ compensation and auto accidents) in which there is no charge directly to the patient.

an ephemeral wetland. This is a valued marsh habitat that would be lost without intervention. The clearance of the tallow trees involved the majority of the Troop membership, scouts and family members, who removed the unwanted trees prior to Spring migration and nesting time for the marsh inhabitants. This large scale conservation effort earned the Troop the Hornaday Unit Award. The BSA National Council describes the Hornaday Award as being “equivalent to an Olympic medal bestowed by the earth” and the awards program emphasis is designed to incorporate an awareness and understanding of conservation. Andrew designed a sign, which is to be erected near the marsh, to educate Nature Center visitors about the marsh habitat and the invasive species removal.

BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY
Want to be happier and live a less stress-filled life? A Barna survey showed that people who participate in faith-based communities are more optimistic, less stressed and believe they are making a positive difference in the world. Yet, the number of Americans who identify as “unchurch” or “dechurched” has steadily increased over the past decade. With this in mind, September 15th has been designated as “National Back to Church Sunday.” Cornerstone United Methodist Church would like to extend a special invitation to come celebrate with them “Back to Church Sunday” on September 15th. The church is located at 18081 West Rd (across from the CFISD Berry Center). Special worship celebrations to “welcome back” those who once were active in a church, as well as those who have never been to a church have been planned for 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM and 10:45 AM. For more information about Cornerstone United Methodist Church, please visit our website at www.cornerstoneumc.org or call us at 281-859-4141.

want to tell people what we think of them. But how we handle interruptions actually tell us more about ourselves. The prophet Jonah’s existence was interrupted by a call of God that would require a complete change of life. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city. What do we do when God interrupts our lives? Many times, like Jonah, we run! In this 7-session video Bible study, Priscilla redefines interruption and shows that interruption is actually God’s invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams.

CARNIVAL ROUND THE CENTRAL FIGURE by Diana Amsterdam. Regional Premier - November 7-23, 2013. A wild ride through theatrical terrain that sears the senses and impacts the audience at a visceral place, which also manages to be hilariously funny and heartbreakingly real in the five core scenes of a young woman’s visit to the death bed of her friend. Her moment of acknowledgment and comfort comes hard in the face of denial, moralizing, insane positive thinking, desperate chit chat and the existential fears we all harbor about the end moments of life - the great mystery. MUSEUM OF DYSFUNCTION IV - December 6-14, 2013. Short plays from 200 writers who submitted from all over the US and were chosen by a panel. Co-produced by Wordsmyth Theatre. ROME by John Harvey - World Premier - March 6-22, 2014. This original script is being written by local playwright, John Harvey, workshopped by designers, musicians and actors, video documented over a year and presented as a collaborative effort as our final play in the season. Located at Studio 101 at Spring Street Studios, 1824 Spring Street, Houston, TX 77007. All performances begin at 8 PM. Price - $18 regular/ $10 students and seniors. Pay as you can on Mondays and $25 for opening night with a party immediately after the show. More info/reservations: www. mildredsumbrella.com - info@mildredsumbrella.com or 832-463-0409.

There are not many strict requirements that need to be met to host a student. The most important thing is that those who host students are doing so for the right reason; providing a loving experience and an exposure to American culture. There are a few basic requirements, of course. Anyone older than 25 and can provide food and shelter for a student fulfills the requirements of being a host family. There is a background check, reference check and an interview. Background checks have to be done on everyone over 18 living in the home. The host families have to be interested in it for the right reasons, the cultural exchange of learning from them and them learning from us. It’s the language, the cooking, the music, the food. The host family has to be genuinely interested. Once the host families and students are matched, Ayusa stays involved by monthly contacts with the families, students and quarterly contacts with the schools. Ayusa coordinators also handle the host family orientations and the student orientations. Group activities, such as community service and seeing things with the group of exchange students is also arrange throughout their academic year. With the current school year quickly coming to an end Ayusa’s local staff is busy looking for families for students for the 2013-2014 school year. Many families are needed and with the schools having deadlines and limits for

According to Ms. Baszile, EF Foundation host families represent the diversity of American culture - with varied economic, religious and social backgrounds. Among those who embrace the exchange experience are parents looking to give their children a glimpse of the world, without having to travel the globe. In addition, there are many successful host families who have no children or adult children who no longer live at home, who are looking for new ways to connect to their communities, while gaining fresh perspectives on the world. Host family applicants undergo a screening process to ensure that they are well suited for an exchange experience. To host, one adult in the household must be at least 25 years old.
