Weekly Inspiration
 
"Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened."
 
- Billy Graham
 
"Peach is a daily, a weekly, a monthly, process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures."
 
- John F. Kennedy
 
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."
 
- Ronald Reagan
 
 
Offered by Michael Probstle

EKSR IS BACK IN YOUTH EXCHANGE! 
 
 
Maybe…. We need your HELP first!
 
We have an amazing student coming from Germany! She and her parents already have a passion for youth exchange. Both parents were previous exchange students and she participated in a short term exchange program just this last year! She is a sports loving, Smart young gal ready to immerse herself into a new culture right here in EAGAN! For those of you who have hosted, been a counselor, or spent any time at all with our previous students you know how rewarding this experience is. For those that haven't now is your chance. 
 
We have an IMMEDIATE call or help. We need 3 host families for these students. Ryan emailed details to all club members. We need our 1st host family committed by July 15th or we risk our student being placed with another club and we all miss out!
 
Please Please Please help. This is a CLUB effort. Share this with your neighbors, Friends, co-workers, anyone you know in Eagan. There is no "perfect" family. Empty nesters, young kids, or older kids.. All have proven to be great host families in the past. Send this information or the email to all your Eagan contacts. As a team, we can tackle this easy task!
 
Contact Ryan Murphy with any leads or questions!
