Become a GlobalPittsburgh Homestay Host! Please consider becoming a host family for international students with GlobalPittsburgh, and encourage your friends, colleagues and family to consider this wonderful opportunity. Homestay hosting: - Opens your mind - Gives you a great understanding of other cultures and cultural sensitivity - Makes you an ambassador for your local community - Creates lifetime friendships - Provides financial compensation for hosts *Hosting is beneficial in so many ways, you will never regret that you tried it!* *"We have hosted for just under 20 years now. We didn't have the money or time to travel overseas so I decided to bring the culture to us. I wanted my family to be open-minded and have a world view and be sensitive, respectful, and tolerant with people who might not think and look the same as them. I feel that this is my small contribution to bring cultures together, build relationships and make a difference for future generations. The experiences we had were life-changing. Our family has made life long friends from around the world. Hosting students has been a highlight of my life." - Awanda Pritts, GlobalPittsburgh host.* As the new school year approaches, many international students from Europe, South America, Africa, and other parts of the world are coming to our region. Many of them choose the GlobalPittsburgh homestay program over other housing options. These well-traveled, multilingual, educated students will brighten your home and may be great companions for you and your children. The requirements to become a host are simple: *a spare furnished bedroom, public transportation accessibility from your home, welcoming environment, and a desire to open your heart to a new friend*. Other conditions such as meals, compensation, and involvement in family activities are flexible and depend on each student's and host's preferences. *"I am currently hosting a bright, energetic, and positive international student. I'm happy to make her stay in Pittsburgh easier by making her feel at home. The sharing of meals is nice and the small rental fee paid is an additional bonus to the experience. I would recommend hosting for GlobalPittsburgh to anyone who is open to developing a new relationship and having a learning experience." - Molly Youngling, GlobalPittsburgh host.* In the past year, our host families have hosted students and young professionals from *Germany, France, Brazil, Portugal, Switzerland, Burma, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Venezuela, Spain, Austria, Pakistan, Korea, Ghana, Tunisia, China, India*, and many others. This year, we are expecting even more requests as our program grows. You can be a part of it and make valuable personal and business connections with visitors from countries of your interest.

Union Project help badly needed. Plea for help!
by Elisabeth Larman 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hello neighbors, You are invited to participate in the Highland Park Garden Club gardening activity tomorrow morning. We will have a clean up and weed up meeting at 10:00 am at the Union Project building, corner of Negley and Stanton. As you know the Union Project is one of the jewels of Highland Park and we should be proud to have this amenity open to all of us. They need help since they are managed on a shoe string. If you have any perennials that you could donate, please dig them up, put them in a plastic bag, and bring them to the Union Project tomorrow morning. They will be replanted immediately ensuring their survival. The Union Project could become a Premier place for weddings and other meetings. It needs to be presented at its best and so sadly it looks terrible at the moment. If you have 2 hours that you would be willing to donate to your community, please come in the morning and help. Thank you very much, Elisabeth HPGC Pres.

Car for Sale, $1,000!
by aimee 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hi All, We are selling a 1997 Saturn SL2 for 1000 bucks, 144,000 miles The good things about the car: 3-year old clutch, barely used tires, good motor, very well maintained The bad things about the car: Either needs a battery or a starter motor (we are guessing -- it has stopped starting on it's own ever since the horrible cold winter), and the inspection is up this month. The car has an emissions exemption due to the fact we drive it very little -- it is a good car for someone needing a cheap way to get around the area, but wouldn't work for long road trips unless you wanted to fix whatever it is that makes it require the emissions exemption. If you are interested, reply to this email with your name and number. Thanks!!
