<div>Dear friends,</div>

<div>            My husband and I have enjoyed hosting new friends from around the wolrd through several wonderful programs in Missoula like the <a href="https://jrpc.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=33757&qid=436395" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mansfield Center</a>, <a href="https://jrpc.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=33758&qid=436395" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The English Language Institute</a>, the <a href="https://jrpc.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=33759&qid=436395" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">International Choral Festival</a> and the Missoula International Friendship Program. And I know there are many other opportunities for us in Missoula to connect with
the world. These encounters give us a chance to learn about the world and to share the things we value. We learn to be humble in the face of the trials endured by others and grateful for the gifts we have. I know our lives are enhanced because we see the world through a larger lens. I am so grateful to count among my friends the people I have met in SE Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Eastern Europe and other places. Today's news is full of posturing for another war which saddens and alarms me. One thing I know I can continue to do is to make friends around the world because where friends exist, enemies cannot. Check out the current needs for hosts in the Action section below. I hope you will consider making some new
friends...Betsy</div>
