Announcemets and reminders for Feb. 2013

Until further notice the van will not stop at the following locations: Cedar Cove, The Polos, or College Station.  The reason is lack of interest from anyone wanting to ride the van to free ESL classes at the Friedship House.   We will continue to pick up students / friends at Parkside Apartments.  If anyone from any other location needs for the van to pick them up for classes, please contact Tracey.  She will be happy to make arrangements.   In addition, Bible Study class will begin Monday, February 4, 2013, 11:00 am - Noon.  Please, be aware that this means the van will not be able to leave the Friendship House on Monday until 12:00-noon.   We hope you will join us and look forward to seeing you soon!

Due to the Starkville School District beginning at 10:00 am on Thursday, January 17, 2013, we will not have class at the Crossroads International Friendship House.   We hope you have a safe and warm Thursday.  We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, January 22, 2013.   Have a nice weekend. 

January 21, 2013 - NO CLASS

We will not have class on Monday, January 21, 2013 due to the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday.  We will have class on Tuesday, January 22, 2013.  Starting Tuesday, January 22, 2013 we will be running the van to pick up students at the following apartment complexes:  Cedar Cove, Parkside, and College Station.  If we do not get a response from students who are committed to coming each day, we will discontinue transportation.  In other words, I need someone to contact me if you live in these places and tell me that you plan to come to the Crossroads International Friendship House every day.   The van  will be at Cedar Cove around 8:15 am (provided someone who lives there contacts me.).   The van will be at Parkside around 8:25 am (in front of the mailboxes).  The van will be at College Station  at Gate 9 at 8:35 am.  You must be outside at these locations before the van gets there.  We will only wait at each stop for 2 minutes.   If we do not hear from anyone via email to traceynash102399@hotmail.com or Facebook to the "Friends of FH"  page then, we will not stop at these locations anymore.   Those who live on Lynn Lane can ride the shuttle from the Starkville Sportsplex to Montgomery Hall.  From Montgomery Hall you can ride the Maroon Shuttle to Aiken Village Preschool and walk to the Friendship House.   In addition, Those who live at The Polos and College Station can ride the Shuttle from Forest Products to Montgomery Hall and then you can ride the Maroon Shuttle to Aiken Village Preschool.   and walk to the Friendship House.    

Classes have begun for the Spring, 2013 Semester

Today, (Monday, January 14, 2013) we began free ESL classes at the Friendship House.  A few of our friends fought the cold and wet weather to come to class.  We hope to see you there tomorrow.  If the Starkville School District is closed due to weather, the Friendship House will be closed, too.  Please, check here or Facebook for updates.   We hope to see you soon!
