Please mark your calendars for Thursday, May 19, 7pm at the Congregational Church, Blymyer Hall.
If the past is prelude, then a concern for our history is necessary for the success of our future – That we might flourish and grow.
Our guest speaker will be Dan Lehman, professor of English Literature at Ashland University.
His topic will be Dar Es Salaam and the remarkable story behind our Sister City relationship.
In 1961 the wife of a Mansfield barber, Charlotte Pugh, made worldwide headlines when she initiated a sister city relationship between a thriving Mansfield, Ohio and Dar Es Salaam, the largest city in the soon - independent nation of Tanganyika in East Africa. On her trip, Mrs. Pugh met then - President John F. Kennedy in Washington, was presented the key to New York City, represented the United States at Tanzanian independence ceremonies along with Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr. , was introduced to Prince Phillip(the Duke of Edinburgh) and Aga Kahn and watched breathlessly when the Union Jack was lowered above the cityscape of Dar Es Salaam and the nation's new diagonally striped flag was unfurled before cheering crowds.
Please tell as many people as possible about this very important meeting and this presentation.
Please join us. The welfare of Mansfield is our passion. Help us to preserve it that it might grow.
Of course, refreshments will be served. If you can, please bring refreshment.
