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
