Exciting Internships for 2003!
CSLI is proud to be offering one of the best internship programs in Vancouver. The evaluations we have received from both the students and the companies have rated the program "excellent". Some of the companies involved this month are BC Hydro, Seatrade Shipping Ltd, Waves Magazine, Fireworks Marketing and the Vancouver Police Department. A special thanks to all the companies who support the CSLI Internship Program.

Romance continues at CSLI!
February is, of course, romance month at CSLI. And as most of you know, we have a reputation for inspiring love. We have had over 23 couples meet at CSLI that have gotten married. We tried to encourage romance this month by selling secret Valentines to all of the students, which were presented on Valentine's day with a chocolate kiss. We also had our famous dating game contest where one lucky girl interviewed 6 different guys from around the world (whom she could not see) and chose one for her date. CSLI paid for the 2 lucky lovebirds to have lunch in one of Vancouver's most romantic restaurants. Congratulations to Maki and Masaru! We will let you know if the romance continues.......

It's a girl..
Congratulations to our former manager Michelle Balogh, who gave birth to a little girl on February 15. Sofia Balogh is a beautiful, healthy girl and we wish Michelle the best with the new addition to her family. Also, special congratulations to our staff members who are celebrating many things this month: Miki Barria, our student counselor, just returned from getting married in Mexico; Heather MacDonald just celebrated her 7-year anniversary with CSLI while Mark Ainley, our Assistant Head Teacher, has celebrated his 3rd anniversary with CSLI. Keith Enns has settled into his new position of Office Manager, and Alexandra Rutherford is doing a remarkable job as our new coordinator of homestays, internships, and activities. And congratulations to our former homestay coordinator Elizabeth Vieira-Castro for the arrival of her baby girl Isabel!

Viva Las Vegas!
The lights and the excitement of Las Vegas were the inspiration of the graduation ceremony this month. Students were given casino chips to play with and walked away with many prizes. Big congratulations to our Student of the Month, Ching Fang Liang (Betty) from Taiwan. She worked very hard this month and participated in many school events. Betty will receive a one-month scholarship to CSLI. Also, congratulations to Melanie Nagler from Germany for studying very hard and winning CSLI's Phrasal Verbs Contest, and Agata and Claudio for winning the intense CSLI Ping-Pong Championship.

A Tribute to a Great Man
CSLI has lost a good friend this month. One of our agents, William Wood, has passed on. We send our deepest sympathy to his family & friends and the staff at Pure/Havenwood Agency. William was a dedicated man who always cared deeply about his students and was a pleasure to work with. His service was attended by many people who knew and loved him. In tribute to his work with CSLI, we will be offering a scholarship to one of his clients each year who follow William's inspiration.
