[Vision2020] Guests or Tenants?

Sun Nov 5 09:36:37 PST 2006

First of all, the "compensation" that Miss Keely talks about is in the form 
of help paying for whatever food the people may need/want while staying with 
the family.  It is NOT payment for use of a room or for use of the house.  
That is provided along with rides to the events, schools, etc. that the 
people may need.

If you had a cousin (shudder to think there are more of you out there) who 
came to stay with you for a couple of weeks, it is no DOUBT that you would 
not only expect them to help with the food bill, but it would be needed.

This in no way represents a boarding house situation - the boarding houses 
that kirkers run are for profit (UNclaimed profit) and are meant to clearly 
be that.  The above situation is not - it is a request for help in a 
situation where our town has the opportunity to show people from another 
part of the word what America is like.

Too bad the likes of Dale, etc. are willing and very able to show them the 
very worst of what America offers.
