Reno’s Basque Sister
City
As you may recall from a previous Newsletter article,
Reno has a Sister City relationship with San
Sebastián (Donosti), in the Basque Country of Spain.
This past year presented some opportunities for cultural
exchanges among citizens of the two cities. In May,
Reno’s Mayor Jeff Griffin was invited to San
Sebastián to speak at a conference on Citizens’
Political Involvement. He spoke on the district councils
formed in Reno to facilitate citizen input into city
government matters. Later in the summer, a girls’
soccer team from Reno, the Silver Wings, traveled to San
Sebastián to take part in the Donosti Cup ’97.
The Donosti Cup tournament brings together amateur teams
from twenty countries for competition.
