Give your family a global experience without leaving home. Do what your NANA neighbors Jason and Sarah Rich and Wendy and Rick Ruelhmann are doing right now…hosting AFS high school exchange students!  The search for great host families for the 2020-2021 school year has started. WHHS, Clark, and St. X have a history of hosting these amazing teenagers, ages 15-18. Choose a year-long or semester student; you can select the student who best fits your family. Students have their own spending money and medical insurance, too. Local AFS volunteers provide support throughout. Interested in learning more? Go to  www.afsusa.org , or contact Georgia Moore at  damoores3@fuse.net  or (513) 675.2320.
