Dear Caro~I received your recent communication. It sounds asifyou reallyareincrediblybusy.I hopethingscalmdown for you soon! I would bemore than willingtoassist you with some ideas for the meeting. In fac~ Imight come along to the meeting myself.It is my considered opinion that either a French or aGerman town would be suitable as a twin. One thingto bear in mind is that they teach German, and notFrench, at the Secondary Schoo~ so that might be areason to give preference to a German town. It mightbe a good idea to wait until the committee has beenelected and then to make the final decision.I herewith present my suggestions for activit ies andevents. How about a food festival? People from thetwin town could come here and cook their localspecialities and then we could go over there and dothe same. Furthermore, I think a school exchangevisit would be brill iant. The children could stay withlocalfamilies and then they'llreallyget a tasteof thelocal culture and learn more of the language.As for the TwinningAssociation brochure- Istrongly recommend that you have it printed andpublished professionally. There are some fantasticgraphic designersaround these days, and it will lookso much betterthan afew photocopies.I trust that I have beenof some assistance. See youat themeeting,
