CiCy of Roseville <br />Internat�onal Sister City Committee <br />Minutes <br />�ednesday, July 3, 1996 <br />Present: James and Joyce Boardson, Charles Scott, Carol Stark, Jan Strootman. <br />Minutes: <br />1. Cartago: No news. There aze no plans for sending Rosevi�le students to <br />Cartaga at this time. No one present has heard anything about <br />students coming again for the 96-97 school year. <br />2. Shinmachi: There wi�1 be 15 students (10 new) and 4 adults arriving Aug.S-15. <br />Principal Koucho Takemura will be representing the mayor of Shinmachi. <br />Nancy Meyer, our contact person in Japan, will also come. <br />Carol and Charles have worked on an agreement, which has been kept <br />simple and has been accepted by 5hinmachi representatives with the <br />help of Nancy Meyer. We need to decide how th�s agreement will <br />look in final form for the signing in August. Hopefully, City Hall <br />will be able to help us with some suggestions. Along with being <br />kept simple, the agreement states that we wi1l work to continue the <br />homestays, and explore other avenues of exchange. <br />There will be a meeting at City Hall July 12, :q:00PM with Steve <br />North to work out plans for a dinner at which time the agreement <br />will be signed. Issues include who will be able to attend, where <br />held. A string quartet has offered to play during the dinner. <br />The Japanese students will have their native dress available, which <br />may aiso ofier an �ntertainment opportunity. Publicitq also needs to <br />be explored. perhaps TV coverage as well as newspaper. <br />3. Other avenues of exchange may be adult teaching aspects, such as teaching <br />Japanese culture, or Japanese coming to increase their English skills. <br />4. Joyce found a store that sells used display cases. Those to be repaired <br />start at $100 or less. Used ones that are "ready Co use" start at $200 and <br />up.
