Reminders and Announcements
Name Change for Head
At the same time as being sworn-in as a new US citizen, Dominique decided to take back her family name and will henceforth be known as Dominique Velociter. A new e-mail address for Ms. Velociter will be created shortly; for now, please continue to send to dthompson@fasri.org.
Host Families Still Needed  (Feb 27 - Mar 30) 
We still need two host families for French teaching interns coming to Providence at the end of February to stay for a month. This is always enriching for the host family as well as the student. Please consider opening your home to this great experience.

If you are interested in hosting, please e-mail Kate Gorton (kgorton@fasri.org) as soon as possible. Merci!
