Dear Athlete,
I am the Track & Field Coach at Wheeling Park High School. I will serve on the coaching staff of an International Sports Exchange cross country team that will compete in Beijing, China. Our team will depart the United States June 12th and will return June 21st for a 10 day trip. In addition to the track and field competition, we will do a lot of sightseeing. The price is
I would like to officially invite you to be a member of the team that will compete in Beijing, China.
Do not miss this opportunity because of the financial aspect. International Sports Exchange has taken more than 15,000 high school athletes and 1,500 coaches overseas for competitions since 1975. More than 90% of all athletes traveling with ISE do not pay their own way, as they do fund-raising projects to cover the cost. ISE has information on fund-raising that will tell you how to form a committee. It also lists numerous fund-raising activities that other athletes have used successfully to raise their money.
The world is filled with two kinds of people... those that are determined to make things happen and those who sit and wait for things to happen. Don't let the world pass you by and miss this once-in-alifetime opportunity. You may travel sometime in the future with your family or friends, but you probably will never have the opporunity to travel with a sports team from the United States and compete internationally again. I urge you to take advantage of this opportunity now.
I have enclosed a post card for you to return to me. This card tells me whether you can go or if I should invite someone to fill your spot. If you plan to go, you need to act immediately as the trip always fills up fast. Send your application directly to ISE and don't forget to apply for your passport immediately.
This will be one of the most exciting experiences of your life... don't miss it.
Cordially,
Coach Bernie Dolan
