Garage Give-Away is coming!

The Friendship House will be closed the week of Labor Day, September 5-9, 2011, so that we may prepare for our annual Garage Give-Away. People from the community will be donating household items for our international friends to take home to setup their households. (To make it feel a little more like home.) New international students are allowed to come on Friday, September 9 and make requests. All international students are allowed to come on Saturday, September 10 and walk through the Friendship House. We look forward to seeing you there!
