Wait a minute! Isn’t this considered a violation of the Brown Act? Probably not, dang it, but Mayor Jeff Cooper and wife Rafia, Vice Mayor Thomas Small, wife Joanna Brody and kids and former mayor Jim Clarke are all in agreement on the great hospitality (and food, especially lemon gelato!) offered up at our new Friendship City, Capo d’Orlando, in Italy. This initial visit also includes CCSC President Sonia Karroum and Vice President Nancy Perdomo-Browning, and just may lead to both cities deciding they would like a strong, long-term relationship as Sister Cities! Count us in!
Birthday wishes go out this week to Patrick Case, Emma Baker, Grace West, John Maines, Nancy Morgan and sister Loretta Jewelle Morgan Tarry, and Ron Engen. If you, a friend or family member have a birthday coming up and would like to see it posted here, let us know at [email protected]!
