THANKS TO A SPECIAL COUPLE

Paul and Ellen Seymour, of Grantville, Lebanon County, are special friends of LEC Capital Region.

Two years ago, they hosted a young lady named Raphaëlle, who had a wonderful time with them. They are still in touch.

Last year, they hosted a young man from Paris, and later the chaperon of the Immersion Group staying all over southern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and northern Virginia.

Not only have they been exemplary hosts, but they have been LEC Capital Region's greatest boosters.

They have helped to place students by posting ads in local libraries and businesses; spoke to friends and neighbors; passed out informational literature to organizations of which they are members; and even volunteered to speak to prospective hosts by phone or at public meetings we have held.

This year, they were unable to host but continued to encourage and support LEC with recruitment suggestions and ideas for excursions and activities.

So, thank you Ellen and Paul, from all of us who have benefited from your kindness and generosity.
