January 1, 2015

Dear Sister City Member,

On behalf of the City of Tempe I would like to thank you for your support of the Tempe Sister Cities Organization, an organization that has served our community for more than four decades.

As you know Tempe is the place to be!  It is the place to live, work, and play!  At the center of the Valley and home of our nation’s largest University, Arizona State University, Tempe has a distinct advantage of being an economically diverse city with a small-town college feel.  There is a unique combination of attributes that makes our residents proud to call Tempe home.  We strive to provide an excellent quality of life, with the services and amenities that our residents deserve.  Tempe enjoys an active citizenry with a great volunteer spirit that helps build our community everyday!

As someone who has been involved with Tempe Sister Cities since I was a kid, I know the difference this organization makes in the lives of Tempe Residents and also people living in our sister cities across the globe!  Tempe Sister Cities builds relationships and with that lifelong friendships are born.  I am very proud that Tempe has one of our nation’s most active sister city programs and that Tempe Sister Cities has been honored many times as the “Best in America”!

Thank you for your support for Tempe Sister Cities.  I know you will enjoy your participation!

Sincerely,

Mark W. Mitchell, Mayor
City of Tempe
