FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SARASOTA, FL – The Sister Cities Association of Sarasota (SCAS) is excited to invite the community and media to the launch of its much-anticipated publication, a rich narrative covering 60 years of the organization’s commitment to international friendships and cultural exchange. The event promises an insightful exploration into SCAS’s enduring legacy.
The book launch will occur on January 25th at the Azul Steak and Sushi Lounge, located at 1296 1st St, Sarasota, FL, 34236. Guests are welcome to join us on the second floor from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM for an evening of cultural engagement and historical reflection.
Authors Craig Hullinger and Ray Young, who have served on the SCAS Board of Directors for a combined total of 30 years, will be present to share insights from the book, which features many photographs of volunteers and individuals participating in Sarasota Sister Cities’ events and activities over the decades.
Several City Commissioners have indicated they will attend and will be acknowledged during the event, celebrating their support of SCAS’s initiatives.
