by lea blumenfeld 30 Nov '12

Does anyone have advice on whether it's worth it to continue fighting after being ruled against in the reassessments? My property has been increased more than three-fold, and I presented evidence at the "hearing," but to no avail. Thank you. Lea

[Highland Park] Host Families needed for male high school students from China attending Eden Christian Academy
by Caroline Becker 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

I serve as the Pgh homestay coordinator for UCEducations/PIESG (www.uceducations.com<http://www.uceducations.com/>). I am currently looking for 3-5 families who could serve as host families for 1 or 2 male students from China from Jan-early June 2013. They have been accepted by Eden Christian Academy in Sewickley, but cannot enroll until their housing is secured with a Christian family (Eden's stipulation). The students must have their own room (or share with another of the same gender) with a non-temporary bed, desk, etc. and will have their busing arranged by Pgh Public School buses. They should be treated as a part of your family and not a mere solo-boarder. Host families are paid $750/month for their services and must pass a background check and application/home interview. Any interest? Contact me: Caroline Becker @ piesgpgh(a)gmail.com<mailto:piesgpgh@gmail.com> or 412-512-9622 (cell) Best, Caroline ps- I am looking for families on an ongoing basis and not always for Eden students. Only Eden Host families must be Christian. If you have interest in hosting a male or female for the next academic year (2013-2014), please let me know.
