Heidi and Lisa,

As mentioned, prospective sister city groups are welcome to attend the dinner with council, but do not present.

For the past couple of years, the Mayor has read the Declaration honoring the Volunteer of the Year.   I am happy to do it if that is what gets scheduled.

It was thought that we should change things up a bit for this year's reports.   Council gets the annual reports in advance, so presumably are aware of the projects that have been initiated.  The thought was that each chair should respond to the question of "why Boulder is paired with the international community that it is linked to."  Perhaps this can be restated better.   The idea is to find the basis for these relationships and the deep connection that keeps them thriving.

Norris

Thanks Heidi

I appreciate your attention to this. After writing much of this email reply, I noticed the attachments and I suggest we stay w previous agendas for this year.

In years past, each sister city has had a table for their group and cc representative. Others like Nablus or Kisumu (before it became a sister city) also have attended and I think have sat w others.

Usually, after everyone has pretty much finished her meal, the mayor welcomes everyone thanking them for being at the dinner and for their efforts.  And a few words about the importance of sister cities to Boulder and in general.

Norris presents the sister city volunteer of the year award

Then a representative from each of the sister cities introduces his group and summarizes their highlights, accomplishments, current activities, next steps. Cc members may ask questions for each sister city that may result in a short discussion. Each sister city presents.

We sometimes have public attend. The event traditionally has been held in the atrium.

I do not think public comment has been taken at these meetings but someone should check.

You might check w Norris, whom I've ccd on this email, on details.

Mary Young is also a member of the sister city committee so I have put this on hotline.

Thanks much!
