The Volusia Sister Cities Organization will again host an intern from Bayonne France. This young man is a senior
intern in engineering and has been hired by the County of Volusia to work as an intern from May 15
to July 31. He will report to work every day at the County office downtown Deland. We are hoping to find a
host family for him in the Deland area so that we can eliminate a transportation problem and have
him comfortable living close to work. Please call Dixie Blake, 734-7190, ext 4051 if you are interested or would
like more information. Stetson University is an institutional member of Sister Cities.
