Date: 10/15/2008 3:43 PM Subject: RE: International Faculty and Scholar BBQ CC: "David Schmitz"<Dschmitz@cstx.gov>, "Kathy Merrill" <Kmerrill@cstx.gov>... Hi all, I hope you don't mind that I read David's message, and now that I have your email addresses, I want to add to what David said. For the past six years you have been one of the best community partners that International Programs at Texas A&M University has ever had. You have truly been selfless with your attitude and contributions. It seems that every year you add something to the mix that makes the BBQ better and better. We truly appreciate you and especially the message you send to our international faculty and scholars about what a wonderful city we live in. You should know that this message makes it to their home countries and across our campus. I would like to offer an additional thank you for all of you who worked so hard before, during and after Hurricane Ike. I know you were tired, but you never showed the fatigue- no one would have ever known, but the IPO staff knew and it makes you all more important to us. I really appreciate you and look forward to next year. Thanks.

They said that"The City"was awesome and everyone loves this event(both new folks and old). They couldn't stop saying enough about how they enjoyed visiting with all of the departments, police,fire, etc. This was the best year yet! I too want to give each of you a "Shout Out"for a job well done. Thank you and all of your staff that helped make this a successful event. We earned a lot of goodwill from the participants and made them feel at home. This helped to break the ice with our new citizens and show them I (#1011512::008)Amanda Putz- RE: International Faculty and—Scholar BBQ — that we are here to help, not hinder their stay. We are already looking forward to next year.......__October 1st, 2009. We will contact you as we get closer for your involvement. Thanks again,fdg. College Station. Heart of the Research Valley.
