Deadline to sign up as a host

family is Monday, May 21.

The Community Education Program

of the Fayette County School System, in cooperation with Achievers International

(Georgia) will host the East Ayrshire Bands and Choir from Ayrshire, Scotland,

June 27-29.

This group is an all-star band

and chorus from the East Ayrshire School District. They will perform at

Sams Auditorium June 29. Host families are needed to house members of

the band and chorus during their stay in Fayette as well as to provide

transportation to and from the LaFayette Educational Center.

Due to time constraints, the

Community Education Program is appealing to parents of students in the

Fayette School System to volunteer to serve as host families June 27-30.

If possible, host families are being asked to take a minimum of two students.

Potential hosts will need to

complete profile sheets so that the community school can match students

to people with similar interests and preferences. A meeting to discuss

itinerary details with host families is scheduled for May 22 in building

D of the LEC at 7:30 p.m.

School officials will handle

transporting the students to and from the airport. Host families will

pick up their students from the LEC June 27 at 4:30 p.m. June 28, the

visiting students are scheduled to arrive at the LEC at 11 a.m. for rehearsal

and will need to be picked up at midnight. A field trip to the Georgia

State Capital, the Coca-Cola building and Stone Mountain is scheduled

for noon June 28. Host families are invited to attend.

A second rehearsal for the

band and chorus is scheduled for 3-5 p.m. at the LEC June 29 with the

performance following at 7:30 p.m. All host families will receive complimentary

tickets for family members. Also, a reception will follow the performance

for the group, host families and invited guests. Students will need to

be returned to the LEC by 11 a.m. June 30 for departure.

To get a host family profile

sheet or more information phone Jim Pittman, director of the community
