Welcome Sept 2012
Hey friends, old and new!
Welcome to a new school year (soon). You can scroll through this blog and get an idea of what we are about. We want to provide friendship through good wholesome activities. We hope to meet you on Campus on the Welcome Days. Pick up a brochure that tells you more about who we are!
You can expect activities every weekend in September, at low or no cost. If you are interested in being matched with a Canadian family to get together with them about once a month, pick up a bright yellow application for the International Friendship Program that we supervise. Ask around and you'll probably meet an international student or two who has come to Christmas Camp - a highlight for many! It'll be happening again this year Dec 21-24, registration beginning Nov. 1.
If you are a Christian or curious about Christianity, there are small groups meeting at different times and places on campus throughout the week.
If we can help in any way in your adjustment to Saskatoon, please contact us.
We are also on Facebook: InterVarsity International Students @ the U of S. Join us!
Looking forward to meeting you soon, Gerry & Shirley

OCTOBER 2011 EVENTS
We offer you the INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP PROGRAM (IFP), where we match international students with Canadian families for friendship sake. You will receive an invitation once a month to get together with this Canadian family. There is no expense involved, but there ARE many benefits: the chance to know a Canadian family and their customs, things about Saskatoon, and opportunity to practice English. Want to join? Fill out an orange application form which you will find at the ISSAC.
The IFP is having its first event on Oct 1, at 6pm: a potluck and variety program. All international students are invited, whether you are already part of the IFP program or not. Transportation will be provided from Browsers on the U of S campus.
