---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lynn Curtis King <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, Mar 8, 2016 at 8:56 AM Subject: looking for host families Children's International Summer Village has asked that I share the following with anyone who might be interested in hosting a delegation for 2 days this summer. More details are in their e-mail below but we hosted the Norwegian delegation 3 years ago and had an amazing experience. We brought them to MDI, the Orono pool, Ft. Knox and the mall. You can host a complete delegation of 4 kids or opt to only take in 2. Also feel free to forward this along to anyone else you might know. Thanks!
