Sister Cities International
Sister Cities International was created at President Eisenhower's 1956 White House conference on citizen diplomacy. Eisenhower envisioned an organization that could be the center spoke in the wheel of peace and prosperity by creating bonds between people from different cities around the world. By becoming friends, President Eisenhower reasoned that people of different cultures could celebrate and appreciate their differences, instead of deriding them, fostering suspicion and sowing new seeds for war.
Sister Cities International creates relationships based on cultural, educational, information and trade exchanges, creating lifelong friendships that provide prosperity and peace through person-to-person "citizen diplomacy." Since then, Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and now President Donald Trump have served as the Honorary Chairman of Sister Cities International.
Our Philanthropists of the Year are Amy Whelan and Pier Antoniucci for all the time and energy put forth over the last year or so to set up our first cultural exchange of high school age students, who had an excellent time in San Casciano this summer. Their students will visit here next year.
