Every year Pasadena Sister Cities invites its exchange students to report on their summer ex-periences in our international sister cities. Our exchange students stayed with local families in Ludwigshafen, Germany. They are: Julia Kim, Lukas Killgore & Chris Patterson. The Paju Friendship City will have a presentation by their intern, Olivia Hudnut, to Paju, South Korea. The first 10 minutes of our meeting will be dedicated to the swearing-in of the 2011-2012 Board of Directors. After the presentations there will be refreshments, at which time you'll have an opportunity to talk to the students and sister city members about our summer exchange program.
