2013-05-31 09:56 Fort Worth, Texas — Sister Cities Delegation Heading to Germany Sister Cities Director Emeritus Hilde Horchler will lead a Fort Worth delegation to Trier, Germany June 25—30 to celebrate Fort Worth’s 25 year anniversary as sister cities.  Trier Mayor Klaus  Jensen will officially recognize the delegation, along with twelve Fort Worth Youth Ambassadors who will also be in Trier on an educational exchange.  Others in the delegation include Director Emeritus Mike Hyatt, board member Doug Harman and Judy Harman, as well as Jane Bass, former board member. The Fort Worth Gessellschaft, the German group responsible for maintaining the sister city  relationship with Fort Worth, has organized tours and events as part of the celebration including an exhibit of Fort Worth artist Nancy Lamb’s paintings. Lamb was invited to Trier in 2012 for the Pilgrimage of the Holy Robe to paint her interpretation of the exhibit. Mayor Price’s schedule prevents her from joining the group but is quoted below from a letter to be delivered: “Since 1987, Fort Worth has been proud to call Trier its Sister City.  Together we have supported a strong partnership including youth and adult programs.“ The delegation will deliver the letter along with a gift on Mayor Price’s behalf and an invitation to visit Fort Worth in 2014 in hopes of renewed economic relations and educational exchanges. Trier is sending a delegation of 15 business leaders in aviation and logistics to Fort Worth to explore business potential later this year.  The visitors will also take part in a local Octoberfest event hosted by Sister Cities.
