2012 Garage Give-Away

Another reminder:   There will be no ESL classes or other meetings  at the Crossroads International Friendship House next week.   We have closed to collect donations for our annual Garage Give-Away.   Like a Garage Sale, we will have some gently used items, maybe some brand new.  However, we will be giving these household items away for free.  Yes, FREE!  Friday, September 14, from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm we will be giving international students who have been in Starkville (or USA) less than a year the chance to make request of items they may need.  On Saturday, all international students are welcome to come from 9:00 am - 11 am.  First come, first serve on Saturday.  You must sign up  when you get there, you will be given a number.  Things will be explained to you on that day.   Items to be given away are dependent upon donations that we receive.  In the past, we have had items such as furniture, sheets, blankets dishes, cookware, small appliances, electronics, children's toys and home decorations.  

Reminder about Labor Day

There will be no ESL classes on Monday, September 3,2012 due to the Labor Day Holiday.  We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, September 4, 2012.    Have a safe and wonderful weekend!

Today, (Monday, August 27, 2012) is the first day of the free English as a Second Language classes for the Fall, 2012 semester.  There have been some changes.   We will no longer offer to pick up our students to take them to class unless they are at MSU Barnes & Noble bookstore at 8:40 am each morning.  We are sorry for the inconvenience, but due to the rise in gas prices, we still want to do everything at NO cost to you.  However, we will offer to take any student home after class that needs a ride.  Be aware that after class also means after Bible Study class on Mondays, beginning Monday, September 17, 2012, from 11 am - 12:00 noon.

No conversation at Apartments the week of July 4

Hello, everyone.  I just wanted to send a reminder that we will not be meeting at the apartments this week due to the 4th of July / United States Independence Day holiday on Wednesday.  However, we hope to see you next week.  As usual we will be at the Grove on Lynn Lane outside, across from the office at 8:00 am on Tuesday, July 10.  We will be at Parkside in Apartment 2-E, on Wednesday, July 11 at 8:00 am.  We will be at the Polos / College Station (outside the Polos apartment 155) on Thursday, July 12 at 8:00 am.   We hop to see you there!   The good news is that I have purchased a tail-gating tent or gazebo tent so we will have shelter from the sun in the outside areas.
