The Carlsbadistan City Council may have voted to end their support of the The Sister City committee after 22 years, but that’s not going to end the relationship between Carlsbad and its sister cityes of Futtsu, Japan and Karlovy Vary (a.k.a. Karlsbad), Czech Republic, according to Jacquie Thye the president of the newly formed Carlsbad Sister City Ambassadors.

CSCA has formed a nonprofit corporation to continue Carlsbad’s 20-year sister city relationships with Futtsu, Japan and Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic. It will also search out other world cities to promote peace, cultural awareness and economic opportunities for Carlsbad residents and businesses. Your ideas and support are welcomed to showcase the many faces of Carlsbad to the world through delegation visits, student home stays, group travel, seminars and other exchanges.

It’s nice to see private citizens taking action when the City drops the ball. For more information of the Carlsbad Ambassadors, click the link.
