At our January meeting, 19 TCC members and guests turned out for great food and conversation at the Imperial Chinese Restaurant. Beth Hendrix, Executive Director of Denver Sister Cities International, spoke about the history and current programs associated with Denver’s 10 sister cities. In 1948, Denver gained its first sister city, Brest, France, the second sister city relationship in the U.S.
The next Colorado meeting will be held on March 19, and Monique Elwell will talk about her travels in Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. Other meetings this year are scheduled for May 21, at which Jim Downs will present “Offbeat Caribbean,” and July 16, Sept. 17 and Nov. 19.
