We need help to prepare for the Friends of Internationals Christmas Party

This year at our Friends of Internationals Christmas Party (December 4th or 5th) we are asking you to be a part of the event. There are some ways for you to participate.

1) We need people to share a little (5 minutes) about Christmas traditions in their home country. (what does Christmas mean in China, India, Iran, Canada, Europe, Russia, etc… How do you, or the people in your country celebrate Christmas?)

2) We need people to participate in our Christmas Play. Non~speaking parts, to help us share the story of Christmas.

If you would like to participate in either of these ways please contact Sangita or Erica so they can plan for the event.
