(Feb. 20, 2011) For more than twenty years the Sister Cities Council has sponsored the local Youth Art Competition for high school and junior high school students. We have enjoyed working with every single young person that’s participated and some of the artwork has been exceptional. The local winner in the 2001 competition was a very talented high school student named Latasha Wilson. Suddenly ten years later the Council members have crossed paths with Latasha again much to our delight, and we hope to Latasha’s delight as well. During the intervening ten years Latasha has spent a year as a Rotary Exchange Student in Germany, studied in China and Mexico as well as traveling to other countries. She has also completed her B.S and M.S Degrees at OSU and presently works for the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program at OSU. Last fall she was a member of the 2010 Stillwater Leadership Class. Upon completion of that class each member is asked to choose an organization in Stillwater with which they would like to serve a three-month internship to work with and learn about that organization. Latasha chose the Sister Cities Council and we are delighted! Latasha, thank you for choosing the Sister Cities Council and we look forward to working with you.
