Sonoma Supports Ukraine and Our Sister City Kaniv

City of Sonoma Mayor Jack Ding sent a letter to his counterpart, Mayor Ren’kas Ihor, via email on February 25^th.   Mayor Ding who has long-supported Sonoma Sister Cities Association (SSCA) and Sister Cities International, had been the process of sending new year’s greetings to each of the mayors of all seven of Sonoma’s sister cities, but the events of the past week made this letter extra heart-felt as a show of solidarity and support for the people of Kaniv, and Ukraine.   Click here to read the letter.

In the meantime, local citizens held a rally on The Plaza on Sunday February 25^th.   Click here to read Jason Walsh’s March 1^st Sonoma Index-Tribune article about the rally, the letter, and comments from SSCA President Diana Short and Chief of Protocol Sherri Ferris.
