A beautiful Saturday to get reorganized. We met today at Bond Street Ale and Coffee to plan our 2026 season.

Top of mind was fundraising and expanding more Sister Cities. More to come! Stay tuned. 🌎🌍🌏

It's finally here! Our Day of Other Culture Project is complete! 📸

We asked people from our Sister Cities to submit photos back in October to show off a day in their lives. The idea is to showcase 1 day across the globe.

The photos are absolutely lovely and show so much of our differences and similarities. We hope you enjoy poking around our online book of photos.

We can't wait to do this again in Oct 2026! 🥳

Current sister cities include: Rauma, Finland Les Cayes, Haiti Farindola, Italy Qufu, China

What is taking so long? ⏳

This girl. This girl we call Steph, is taking FOR-EV-ER to put this project together. 🌺

I am very excited to say it's getting done and should be ready this weekend! Yippee!

There have been so many different and varied photos from all of our cities and I cannot wait to share them!

(Don't overload your work-flow. Don't be like Steph. lol)

I had the ABSOLUTE pleasure to join Christy from Duluth Sister Cities International on an educational peace walk this morning. Stories included the purpose of Sister Cities, about the waterfront of Duluth, the memorials of true significance, and about the Duluth Sister Cities (which are all recognized publicly along the waterfront.) We had the best weather for the 1-hour educational walk around the town.

This was my (VP Stephanie's) first experience meeting another Sister City member from out of the state. It's wonderful to connect globally, but also here within the states. 🌍🌎🌏
