Sister Cities dinner and auction

            Brighton Sister Cities hosts its seventh annual dinner and silent auction Feb. 4, at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 1096 E. Bridge St. A traditional Polish dinner with all of the fixings will be served from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Polish beer (piwo) and wine will be available. The auction begins at 6:30 p.m.

            Proceeds from the evening will fund the day trips and activities for the students from Ziebice when they visit Brighton, assist students and chaperones from Brighton when they travel to Ziebice, and add to the fund to maintain the “Ziebice Gate” play structure at Brighton Sister Cities Park.

            Brighton Sister Cities is a collaborative cultural exchange program between the cities of Brighton Colorado and Ziebice, Poland.  Inaugurated in 1995, the program has given students, civic and business leaders, educators and individual representatives the opportunity to experience a cross cultural sharing of ideas, events, programs, and celebrations.  Since it’s inception over 200 student and adults have participated in the sister cities exchange program.  The exchange is based on an every year rotation alternating between Brighton visiting Ziebice and Ziebice visiting Brighton.
