In today’s SF Chronicle is the announcement of the agreement reached between the city governments of San Francisco and Krakow to establish a sister-city relationship.  See attached and link below.

The ceremonies marking the establishment of the sister cities will take place in Krakow on July 3rd and later in the fall in San Francisco. Krakow Mayor Majchrowski and a representative of Mayor Newsom will sign the agreement. I will be attending along with my fellow Honorary Consul, Tad Taube, who worked with me in obtaining the agreement between both cities. If you are interested in attending either ceremony, please contact me for details.

We are hoping to organize many events in the near future related to this special Sister City relationship, including:

·         cultural and artistic events

·         academic exchanges

·         commercial activities

·         athletic events and

·         delegations of political, religious, and other dignitaries from both Cities

We welcome your role in helping to organize and carry out these events as part of the Sister City program.

Please let me know if you would like to get involved in planning future activities by emailing me or my consular assistant, Magdalena Zimka at mzimka@youradvocate.net.

Also, please don’t forget about the Polish Festival taking place next Sunday, May 3rd at Golden Gate Park. Information at: www.poloniasf.org.
