Foothill students need homes

Hosts are needed for Foothill College students for three or more months. Students will arrive in late August. Hosts will be paid $700 per month to provide students room, board and TLC. For more information, call Kristi Clarke, 949-3091 or 400-1390.

Gunn 30th reunion scheduled July 23

The 30th reunion of the Class of 1975, Henry M. Gunn High School, Palo Alto, is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Baylands Park, Sunnyvale. For more information, contact Donna Helliwell at dhelliwe@yahoo.com or Lee McNeely Vojvoda at 948-3050.

Hosts needed for foreign students

The Foundation for Intercultural Travel, a U.S. State Department-designated exchange program, is matching international students ages 15-18 with host families of all types, from single-parent to retired couples.

The exchange students will arrive about a week before school starts. They all speak English and have their own medical insurance and spending money. Host families agree to provide room and board and to include the student in their family life. Some students will need a home for one semester only and others for a full school year.

For more information about hosting a student or to set up an interview with a local representative of the Foundation for Intercultural Travel, call Maryann at (877) 439-7862.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

When members of the Los Altos Village Association first created the summer movie nights, they anticipated an event that would attract more residents downtown as a way to promote business.

What they didn’t anticipate was an influx of middle schoolers, or that parents would use the weekly Friday night affair as an opportunity to drop off their children and have someone else (in this case, the Village Association) effectively watch over them.
