7.	Volunteers Needed to Host International Visitors -
The Northern California World Trade Center is applying
to be the local host for the International Visitor
Leadership Program (IVLP). The IVLP is a State
Department-funded program that brings future foreign
leaders to the United States. We are seeking to
develop a list of volunteers in the Sacramento region
who are interested in promoting citizen diplomacy -
improving international relations "one handshake at a
time." The international visitors spend two to three
weeks in our country, visiting various cities in the
U.S. They learn about a variety of topics, depending
on their professional experience and interests. The
goal of the program is to promote improved relations
between the U.S. and our overseas partners. Volunteers
are needed to provide "home hospitality" to
international visitors. This means inviting visitors
to your home for a meal, or inviting them out to
dinner, or taking them to a concert, art gallery
event, or a Kings or Rivercats game. You will be
helping the visitors get to know Americans on an
individual basis. For more information, please visit

Center, please visit http://www.norcalwtc.org. If you

and provide your name, e-mail address, and phone
number. See contact info below.
