Agustin Menjivar, community leader in Arcatao, will be in Madison for the 25th Anniversary of MASCP and USESSC
In commemoration of the 25th Anniversary of sistering with Arcatao, MASCP has invited Agustin Menjivar, a community leader in Arcatao and the current president of the regional organizing committee to come to Madison. MASCP drafted a new resolution recommitting the City of Madison to our sister city relationship with Arcatao, El Salvador. Agustin will address the Common Council on October 4, the evening they will be voting on the new resolution. Seven Madison Alders have co-sponsored the resolution: Shiva Bidar-Sielaff, Sue Ellingson, Bridget Maniaci, Matt Phair, Satya Rhodes-Conway, Marsha Rummel and Anita Weier. Other alders and Mayor Paul Soglin will be invited to read and support the resolution as the October 4th Common Council meeting approaches.
All Madisonians are invited to tell their alders to support this resolution and to come to the meeting on October 4, too! We hope that folks will register their support for the resolution and express their appreciation for person-to person international relationships such as this. Those who have gone on delegations to Arcatao are particularly invited to come and share their experiences. The meeting starts at 6:30 PM and is held in Room 201 in the City County Building. Those who wish to speak should come early to sign up. We hope to see you there!2011 City of Madison Madison- Arcatao Sister City Proposed Resolution
