The Topeka Friendship Network

Dear international student,

We would like to give you an opportunity to develop a friendship with an American family!

A number of reputable Topeka families and individuals have stated their desire to invite you into their homes and have you participate in their family life. As an example, you may...

        - be asked to their home for dinner
        - attend sports events, school events, concerts, or other outings together
        - work together with the family on a project
        - be asked to relax in their home for an evening or weekend

Whatever the invitation, we want you to know that our families know that your studies are of greatest importance to you. You will not be obligated to attend any activities but such as you have the time and desire to attend. Our primary interest is your friendship.

If you think you would be interested in the Topeka Friendship Program, please print your name, address, phone number, and e-mail address on the form below, along with a suggested time of day or evening when we can call you. We will set up a time to visit with you and answer any question you may have.

Additionally, please note the web address below where you can get more information and reach us with any questions using e-mail.

Sincerely, on behalf of the entire Topeka Friendship Network,

        Ed and Connie Kearn
