Bendigo Visitors Hosted in Los Altos; Up Next, Syktyvkar!
Los Altos Sister Cities Committee looks forward to a visit by its Russian sister city later this month, after hosting representatives from its Australian sister city.
Los Altos Sister Cities hosted Barry and Kathleen McNaught from the Sister City in Bendigo, Australia, last Friday. Shown here, the pair spent the day visiting the sights of Los Altos and meeting with city officials.
The Sister Cities president, Dorothy Dickson, who provided the picture here, hosted a reception at the end of the day.
Barry McNaught, as a retired travel agent, is helping to organize a visit from interested citizens of Los Altos to Bendigo and other areas of Australia for April 2012 to celebrate 25th anniversary of the relationship between Los Altos and Bendigo. Contact Dorothy Dickson or go to the Los Altos Sister Cities website for information on participating and being home-hosted in Australia.
