0103-20 A Subject: Update on civic leadership visit to AalborgCommunicationSubject: Update on Civic Leadership Visit to Aalborg Mayor Mason confirmed that he will attend the civic leadership conference in Aalborg in May. The three-day conference will focus on sustainability issues facing 21st century cities, and having read the agenda, Mayor Mason judges that Aalborg is three or four years ahead of Racine in addressing the challenges. In addition to the mayor, Gateway Technical College will be represented by President Bryan Albrecht, and UW-Parkside will send Chancellor Debbie Ford or a designee. Aalborg is also creating a program of events for sister city members who want to attend but not necessarily take part in the conference. Several council members indicated they would like to join the Racine contingent.Received and Filed  Action details Not available
0104-20 A Subject: Update on April 2020 Montélimar student visitCommunicationSubject: Update on April 2020 Montélimar student visit The Racine Sister City Council will host fifteen students and two chaperones from Alain Borne High School in Montélimar from April 19-26. This program features a homestay and school visitation for our guests, and at this point we have secured host families for all of them. We hope that guests and hosts can get acquainted by social media soon. For host families with teenagers, our French guests will shadow them at school, and teachers will provide suitable guides for those guests where there is not a teenager at home. Rev. Guetzlaff distributed a tentative itinerary for the week, which will include a tour of Racine, a day in Milwaukee and a morning at Carthage College in addition to classroom visits at Case, Park, Walden or Horlick. Council members offered suggestions for itinerary items and publicity ideas for the week-long visit. Shortly before their arrival the Sister City Council will host an evening meeting for host families.Received and Filed  Action details Not available
