Please contact Erick Senkmajer at northern.bands@me.com if you would be able to help host.

What does this entail?  Well...
* First, they need a clean place to sleep for three nights.  If *your* child were traveling overseas, what kind of accommodations would you hope *their* hosts provide?
For *my* family, my own kids will be giving up beds and sleeping in the basement or in the camper while the guests get the beds.  We will also likely have some good air mattresses to put more than one in each room.
* All meals during their stay need to be accounted for.  There will be a potluck dinner on Sunday night at the school, and so your assistance in providing dish to pass for your guests and family (plus some extra).  Details will be coordinated later
* Transportation to the Friday social activity and the Saturday performance (sometimes transportation can be arranged by an additional person.  just let us know)
* Show them a bit of Port Huron and the Blue Water Area.. Take them to the beach, take them to the mall, take them out on a boat... 

* Be a great host!
