Next Delegation from Krasnodar

Dear Friends,

Please help spread the word that we of the Tallahassee
Krasnodar Sister City Program (TKSCP) will be hosting a
delegation of secondary education policy makers from
Krasnodar, Russsia from December 10 to 20 of this year.

We very much want to showcase our secondary education
resources and we hope to involve secondary education policy
makers of the Florida Department of Education, of the
College of Education at Florida State University, of Leon
County Schools, and of others who are involved with
public and private secondary education.

Though we have some financial assistance from the Open
World Leadership Center (http://www.openworl d.gov) that
will pay for air transportation and a few other things,
we will be needing host families for the delegation of
six people.

If you, or if you know of others, who may be interested
in helping with this project please send us contact
information.

We are especially interested in hearing from those of you
who are involved with secondary education because we are
searching for ideas as to things the delegation should
do while they are here.

We will soon start a newsletter that will keep all interested
people informed about this project.

If any of you have questions please contact me because I am
the local coordinator for their visit.

Sincerely, Bob Broedel
