1. New Owners, Same Spirit
As most of you know, Kathy Harrington and I (Darryl Calkins) recently became
the new owners of Linden Educational Services. We have worked closely with
Linda Heaney over the past 13 months to make certain that new leadership
would result in a continuation of the same level of professional and high
quality service that Linda and Linden have provided for the last 24 years.
We are both excited about this new chapter in our lives and about continuing
the many relationships developed through Linden – and to making many more.

We are also very pleased to announce that Linda has agreed to continue her
relationship with Linden as a project manager and consultant. Specifically
Linda has agreed to coordinate the Art&Design Tours this spring and fall and
to organize the Washington Program this spring. We appreciate very much the
knowledge and spirit that Linda has brought, and continues to bring, to the
company, and feel fortunate that she plans to stay involved.

2. Mexico Spring 2006 - new!
March 21-28, 2006
Monterrey: March 21-23
Guadalajara: March 23-26
Mexico City: March 26-28. University Fair: Monday, March 27.

This spring, prior to our already publicized Latin America Tour, we are also
offering two additional stops in Monterrey and Guadalajara. We will be
arranging visits to schools and universities, sponsoring counselor events
and setting up individual interviews for interested students. We will then
join the Spring Latin America Tour in Mexico City and participate in the
U.S. University Fair and school visits and fairs on that stop of the tour.
See www.lindentours.com for details.

3. Asia Tour Application Deadline Extended
The tour deadlines for both the Northeast and Southeast Asia tours have been
extended to to Friday, Jan 20. There are a few spots left for both full
tour and fairs only participants. See www.lindentours.com for details.

4. Washington Program 2006
The Washington Program facilitates international recruitment efforts by
introducing U.S. universities to key people and organizations involved in
international education in Washington, DC. The program, now in its 13th
year, offers visits to embassies and meetings with U.S. government
officials. This year, we are inviting guidance counselors and educational
advisers from Saudi Arabia and Turkey to join us.

A full schedule of informative briefings, embassy visits, individual time with counselors and social events is planned for representatives of 25 U.S. universities. The application is on the site at http://lindentours.com/univ_officials/tours/wp_06/index_06.shtml. For details
