BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID;X-RICAL-TZSOURCE=TZINFO:-//com.denhaven2/NONSGML ri_cal gem//EN CALSCALE:GREGORIAN VERSION:2.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:There are some new people coming to town &ndash\; 100 of them \, to be exact. And they all need a place to stay. You might have heard of the group Up with People\; they&rsquo\;ve been around since 1965. The y&rsquo\;re an organization that gives students ages 17 to 29 the opport unity to travel around the world\, singing and dancing and basically bri nging their upbeat message to different communities. They&rsquo\;ll be p erforming here \;on \;Cape Cod \;on August 24th and 25th at the Barnstable High School Performing Arts Center. But the other part o f what they do is to provide a cultural exchange\, both for the performe rs and the local citizens\, by placing the kids with local families. And this is where you come in\, because they need host families for about 1 00 kids for one week in \;August &ndash\; from the 20th to the 27th. What you need to provide is a bed\, breakfast and dinner\, as well as t ransportation at the beginning and end of each day. During the day\, the kids will be involved with other things\; but when they&rsquo\;re in yo ur home\, you have a unique opportunity to hear all about where they&rsq uo\;re from\, and how they live. And they get to see how you and your fa mily live. Pretty cool! As if all that wasn&rsquo\;t reason enough\, eac h host family will get two free tickets to the Up with People&rsquo\;s 2 012 performance\, Voices. The show is a mix of songs from the &lsquo\;80 s til now\, including original music\, as well as challenging choreograp hy. The performers come from 20 different countries\, and while they are n&rsquo\;t required to have any specific talent\, it&rsquo\;s helpful if they can sing and dance\, at least a little. They will be performing in Massachusetts\, Taiwan\, the Philippines\, and Mexico. The advance gro up is already on the Cape\, working out of office space at Rogers Gray I nsurance Company\, local sponsor for the group. They&rsquo\;re looking for hosts now\, so if you&rsquo\;re interested\, you can contact \;L inda Chen \;at \;lchen@upwithpeople.org  \;or by calling 303 -681-1471.
