Morelia Junior Ambassadors cancel visit

We regret to announce that the Junior Ambassadors from Morelia will not be visiting Fullerton this summer as planned, due to concerns over the recent flu epidemic and the hazards of traveling.  Host families, please keep in touch for next year.

Fukui Junior Ambassadors had a great time here in Fullerton in 2008.  Now it's Fullerton's Junior Ambassadors' turn to travel!  Twelve students will be visiting Japan from July 29 through August 9 this summer, the twentieth anniversary of our Sister City partnership.  Twenty years ago, then-mayor Molly McClanahan traveled to Fukui and signed the proclamation at an elaborate ceremony.  A delegation from Fukui flew to California and sealed the deal; the Fukui Friendship Tree was planted on the east side of Fullerton City Hall. 

History and tradition are very important to the people of our Japanese Sister City, as they are to us.  So it's certain that Fukui folks have big plans for their visitors!  The Junior Ambassadors to Fukui will be uniquely honored this year, as will any Fullerton Sister City member who visits Japan.  Watch this space for information on an adult trip to Fukui in Fall of 2009!

To find out more about this historical trip, contact Mike Oates, FSCA President, or Fukui Committee Chair George Tsuda.

Yongin, South Korea, will also be a destination for Junior Ambassadors from Fullerton this summer.  The trip will last approximately ten days, beginning July 29 and ending August 9.  To learn more about this fabulous travel opportunity, contact FSCA President Mike Oates or Yongin Committee chair Daniel Kang.
