What's on

We are currently working on a new film called 'In the Loop' filming in May.
If you are or know any REAL Americans who might be available for this production, we encourage you to register with us.

To apply go to http://www.castingcollective.co.uk

On the home page click on the link that says: "Are you American ?"
Fill in the form and upload a recent photo of yourself, preferably in smart office wear.

Once you are registered we will consider you for this production and your details will be stored for any other films where your profile may be compatible.

Going home: Familiar friendly faces, you know the system and understand the jokes. There's no language barrier, no subtle cultural differences. There's a lot to look forward to...

Returning home sounds easy, especially if you are returning to your old town, neighborhood, possibly old house, school and friends. What could be more straightforward?

Actually as it turns out, many things.

Log on to www.schoolchoiceintl.com for more information and to order your guide for $15. Or call FOCUS on 020 7937 7799 for more information.

Americans living abroad can vote in US elections but they may need help in registering to vote. If you would like to learn how to register voters come to the Swiss Cottage Community Center on May 17 from 10:30-12:00. Democrats Abroad and Republicans Abroad will provide you with instruction and supplies for voter registration. Then you can take your skills back to your organisation, business or community and help other Americans participate in the democratic process. There will also be an opportunity to volunteer for voter registration drives following the seminar. Please RSVP to VoteFromAbroad2008@yahoo.com.

Since shopping is our first love (for most of us!); getting rid of stuff must be the second! In case you haven’t heard, the Annual Nearly New Sale in Hampstead is Saturday 10th May (10am – 2pm) at Rosslyn Hill Unitarian Chapel in support of Doorstep – a homeless family shelter in West Hampstead.

Gently used Children’s Clothes (0-10), toys, videos, books, DVDs, baby equipment & more (including Krispy Kreme® Doughnuts) will be up for grabs (literally)!!

We are accepting donations!!!
If you have any “gear” (in saleable condition) that you want to unload, please call me! All you have to do is drop them off. All proceeds will go to Doorstep.

Want to sell your own stuff?
If you would prefer to price your own “gear” and sell it at the sale, you can do that too! There is a 10 pound fee and you keep 75% of the proceeds (the remaining 25% go to charity in this case).

Contact me if you are “cleaning out” … all I ask is that you think of me when you can successfully close your kids dresser drawers once again!

Drop Off Locations (the last day for drop of is Tuesday May 6th):

Lisa Hill – 49 South Hill Park (South End Green) – (m) 07921-135-532
Betsy Lynch – 18A Frognal Gardens, (off Church Row) – (m) 07724-895-199
Katie Ryang - 31 Ainger Rd (Primrose Hill); (m) 07779-616-327

Of course, you can just come to shop as well!

Each Southbank campus holds an Information Morning or Evening at least twice during the academic year and they afford prospective families with an ideal opportunity to see what the campuses offer.
