open to all students, scholars, and their families. These classes are FREE
of charge and there is no need to pre-register – just show up ready to
learn! The classes are offered most every Tuesday throughout the summer. All
classes will be held at the BCM/FI building

great cook, Mrs. Naffany, who will be teaching the class. We hope this is
something we may continue throughout the summer. Naffany is skilled in
making Hong Kong style Chinese food, Sushi, and much more! The cost is $5
per person and this is to cover the cost of ingredients. After you cook, you
of course will enjoy the food you have made. For a look at some of Naffany’s

are at least 6 years old. You will need to buy your own supplies, but the
classes are free. There is a one time cost of $5 to cover fixed costs for
this event. These classes will be held on Tuesday mornings from 10 a.m. – 12

Holocaust Museum and Professional Baseball Game

            Join FI as we travel for a day of enjoyment in St. Petersburg!
On Saturday, June 23rd, we plan to travel to the Holocaust Museum, get
something simple to eat, and then go and enjoy a professional baseball game!
Our plan is to meet at the BCM/FI building
<http://www.internationals.org/tampamap.php>  (click link for directions) at
1 p.m. and then for us all to travel together. The total cost is $20 and
this includes a guided tour through the museum, the baseball game (Rays vs.
L.A. Dodgers), and your transportation. Those who drive will be compensated
for their gas. There is no need to reserve in advance, just show up! For

also able to have pickups scheduled at 12:45 p.m. The following places are
schedule stops: Campus Walk bus stop on 42nd St., Willow Brook bus stop on
42nd St., or Administration bus stop (main bus stop – wait under covered

email indicating which stop. Then be at your stop at 12:45 p.m. on June
23rd.

My Future at Friends of Internationals

            I plan to leave the Director position of Friends of
Internationals. This will be effective starting in August 2007. This has
been a decision that has come after much prayer and thought. I have been
taken classes at the Southeastern Seminary Extension (www.sebts.edu
<http://www.sebts.edu/> ) here in Tampa since January 2006. I now have a
total of 24 credits towards my Master of Divinity degree. The total credits
needed are 90. Taken all things into consideration, the best path seems to
be for me to move to North Carolina at the main campus. I will miss USF,
Tampa, and all of you I have met through Friends of Internationals. I hope
we will continue to be in touch.

RIDGECREST 2007 

            This is a national collegiate meeting held in the beautiful
mountains of Asheville, NC. The BCM goes on this trip each year and it is
always fantastic. It will be held August 4-9. The cost is $225. For more
information and to sign up, click here <http://www.usfbcm.com/ridgecrest> .

Kylie (kylie at usfbcm.com). 

Pictures

            We are now updating our picture album page and hope to be adding
new pictures to the website from events this summer. If you have any
pictures you would like to share, please email them to Charmy
(charmcarina at yahoo.com). If there are any concerns with transferring
pictures, please email Charmy (charmcarina at yahoo.com) as well. Thank you!

Airport Taxi Service

            With the end of the semester here you may be interested in our
Airport Taxi Services. This is year round, but especially useful during
vacation times. You may receive free transport to and from the airport,
provided volunteers are available. For more information, click here

            The Host Meal opportunity involves visiting a North American
family who would like to have you to their home for a meal. If you would
like to sign up, just reply to this email with your phone number and home
country. Someone will then contact you inviting you to their home! These
