<div>Greetings,</div>
<br>
Many of you are aware that <span id="gmail-m_1083557618588626692:1a5.1">Riverdale</span> Park has had an ongoing sister-city relationship with the town of <span id="gmail-m_1083557618588626692:1a5.2">Ipala,</span> Guatemala, for more than a decade. One of the
ways that relationship has blossomed is in an annual exchange of teachers, and we are preparing to welcome a fresh group of educators this month.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In order to promote a greater level of cultural exchange this year, we are looking for a few families from our community to open up their home and host one of these teachers during the week of November 11 to 18. I need a few of you to join me in sharing
our homes for a little while! If you are interested in doing this and want more information please contact our sister cities coordinator Vernon Archer at <a href="mailto:varcher@gmail.com" target="_blank"><span class="gmail-il">varcher@gmail.com</span></a> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm looking forward to extending a great big welcome and trying to show some of the best of American hospitality next week. Ours is a great and embracing country and this is a wonderful way of showing it to visitors from our sister city.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
