Our primary focus is on the children of Saluda Elementary and the school age children in Carunchio. We find ways to connect the children as pen pals; through a shared website; by exchanging drawings, letters and internet communications; sharing school materials and more. Our connections evolve creatively, changing with the needs and interests of each community. The larger Saluda community gets involved with art and culture displays of things “Carunchio,”  special italian food events, a display in the visitor center and in City Hall, regular articles in the "Saluda Lifestyles” newsletter, and visits between Saluda and Carunchio residents.
