Sister Cities Association of Kansas City

On October 20th, 2024 from 2pm to 4pm, members and chairs of the Sister Cities Association of Kansas City had a wonderful social gathering and meeting at the Loose Park Garden Center for all members. It was a great pleasure to see over thirty of us gather together and attend. We enjoyed spending time together, discussing our ongoing projects, and reflecting on everything we've accomplished in 2024. The event featured delicious food prepared by the chairs of the committee's cities, and we concluded with an awards ceremony. We took the opportunity to acknowledge the incredible dedication of Traute Kohler to the Hannover committee, express our gratitude to Melinda Minks for her many years of support to our association, and extend our heartfelt appreciation to Joan Pu, our beloved secretary. To those who were unable to attend, you were missed, and we want you to know that we deeply appreciate your continued support. Warm regards, Julia Gargallo
