FROM: Mary Seville, Travel Abroad Coordinator

DATE: November 2, 20----

SUBJECT: OPEN HOUSE

I've enclosed copies of a memo announcing the open house for the Travel Abroad Program. Please distribute the copies to students in your classes.

Last year we had 25 students participate in the trip to England. If you have had the opportunity to talk with them about this experience, you know that the trip was very worthwhile and gave them memories that will last a lifetime. I am confident that the trip to Italy will be just as rewarding to those who participate. As you know, the experiences students gain from traveling abroad cannot be replicated in the classroom.

I appreciate your support of the program and your help in promoting it with your students.

SUBJECT: TRAVEL ABROAD COORDINATOR

As you may have heard by now, Mary Seville announced her plans to retire at the end of next summer. In addition to hiring a new French teacher, we will need to replace Mary as our Travel Abroad Coordinator. This will be a very difficult task; Mary has done an excellent job.

If you are interested in this position, please let me know before you leave for the winter break. I would like to fill the position early next semester. This will allow the new coordinator to work with Mary as she plans this year's trip. The new coordinator would be expected to travel with Mary and the students to Italy this summer.

We also need to start thinking about a retirement party for Mary. If you are interested in being on a retirement party committee, please let me know.
