Japanese students need host homes
Fourteen Japanese students, ages 13 and 14, are coming in July to study English at Advent Lutheran Church in Mill Creek.
Host families are needed for some of the students.
Only a few homes have been found for the students from Kagoshima, who will arrive July 22 and stay through Aug. 10.
The visitors will be taken on field trips and tours. Classes are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Families fill out an evaluation at the end of the stay.
To say thank you for hosting, three tickets (one for the student) will be provided for each host family for the Aug. 5 Seattle Mariners baseball game.
For more information call Nicole Bingay at 425-337-7633.

Scout’s drive will help dress up girls
Through Saturday, Jackson High School junior Amber Navran is collecting dresses for Cinderella’s Trunk as a part of her Girl Scout Gold Award project.
Cinderella’s Trunk, a nonprofit organization, is particularly in need of jewelry, purses, wraps and new or gently used dresses or gowns in all fabrics, sizes and colors.
