25th Anniversary Celebration Is Here!

(STILLWATER, OKLA • Oct. 17, 2010) — Today the Stillwater Sister Cities program is celebrating its 25th anniversary and it’s been an exciting journey. However, as with most any endeavor that does well, it needed good support and leadership in its infancy and it certainly enjoyed both. Stillwater’s mayor in 1985 was Calvin Anthony and he has been a strong supporter of the sister cities program throughout the twenty-five years. The program has also enjoyed the support of City Hall
from the beginning. But, with any successful program it takes both support and “workers in the trenches” supplied primarily by the members of our sister cities council. The nine charter members of our council were, in alphabetical order, Carl Fox, Sylvia Duncan, Dee Dutt, Michael Griffith, Roger Hawkins, Mike Henson, Larry Jones, Harold Sare and Val Webb. Harold served as our first chair and provided great leadership to get us off on the right foot. As we meet this afternoon at the Stillwater Public Library to celebrate we hope you’ll join us. We’ll get underway at 2 pm in the auditorium. Please join us!
