Subject: City Council Meeting Agenda - Up with People
Ms. Klassen,
My name is Jennifer Carlson and I am a Promotion Representative for Up with People. I spoke with John Wohlmuth today
regarding Up with People's visit to the Coachella Valley March 16-23. He suggested that I contact you regarding my co worker
and I doing a short presentation for the city council during the February 26 meeting. Might there be room on the agenda for
us to present? I realize that agenda requests need to be made weeks in advance, but if you have an opening or cancelation on
the February 12 agenda, we would welcome an earlier opportunity to present. Let me know if either of those dates work for
us to present our organization to the council.
Below my signature you will find a brief description of our organization and what we would be presenting to the council.
Thank you, Ms. Klassen! I look forward to hearing from you!
Best,
Jennifer

Up with People is a global education, service and performing arts program that takes participants from around the globe on a
6-month, multi -continent tour. During the tour, participants from 20 countries travel to a new destination each week, live with
local host families for a true cultural immersion experience and spend several days working on many community service
projects. The cast will complete roughly 1,000 hours in community service projects. In addition, they perform a live, high energy
show with songs and dances from various genres, countries and eras for the benefit of local non-profit organizations.
Up with People is coming to Coachella Valley March 16-231 During their stay, they will be doing leadership and diversity
workshops in local schools, working with FIND Food Bank, and performing their new 50th anniversary show benefitting the
Ophelia Project on March 20 and 21. The shows will be held at Indio High School and Palm Springs High School.
Jennifer and Paty, members of the Up with People Advance Team, are here in the Coachella Valley looking for more service
projects, promoting the shows, and seeking out host families for the 110 Up with People participants!
Host Families are asked to provide three simple things:
• A sleeping surface (bed, couch, floor etc)
• Breakfast and dinner
• Local Transportation
**As a thank you, each host family will receive two tickets to one of the Up with People performances!
If you are interested in being a host family during the week of March 16-23, please contact Jennifer Carlson at 712-541-9880
