Hey Kris,
Thanks for the heads up on the number, it's great to hear there's a good turnout! If we go the hat route,
we'll be having our citizens pick the names during the city council meeting O
We don't really have advice for the number of citizens, since the number of people you bring is all up to
you! However that homestay situation becomes our only worry. The more people there are the harder it is
to find homestays, specifically for couples. If the citizens know ahead of time that they might not be able
to stay with their partner, or that if they have to it might come down to them paying for lodging or
switching with another couple willing to do so, it would be okay. Ultimately it's up to you on number!
-Chris

Hi Chris,
FYI — received 9 citizen applications for the Seward delegation. We are going to pick 5
randomly from a hat unless you want to advise us differently. (like taking all 9 for a total of 14)
