08.g1 Sister City Request for FundingISTER CITIE

Scandia's Sister City Committee requests approval from Scandia's City Council for a budget of
$250 for the First Anniversary Celebration of the Sister City Charter Signing Ceremony with
Mellerud, Sweden, on April 20, 2023.
Similar to last year's event, we plan on holding a FIKA after the ceremony consisting of coffee,
tea, and juice accompanied by Swedish treats such as coffee cakes, cookies, cakes, and rolls.
We also need to purchase paper napkins for the event. In 2022, this event was attended by
over 200 people; we are expecting more this year.
Last year we had a budget of $200 from the City's events budget. Still, due to the enthusiasm
for this event, several Sister City Committee members spent approximately $250 of their own
money to buy extra food needed for the event.
This year, Scandia's Sister City Committee also has a funding request for $250 approved by the
Community Request Committee of the Scandia Marine Lions. Final Board approval is expected
at the March meeting.
With the City's $250 and the Scandia-Marine Lion's $250, we will have a $500 budget to fund
the First Anniversary Celebration of the Sister City Charter Signing Ceremony.
Thank you for your consideration,
Scandia's Sister City Committee
