Thank You, ASCI Family! Friday December 18, 2026, our Event was Great. Thank you to our incredible ASCI Board of Directors, Sister City Working Groups committee chairs, and community partners for making our Year-End Get-Together so meaningful.
A special thank you to OIIA City of Aurora Office of International and Immigrant Affairs, Colorado and to the City of Aurora, and our sincere appreciation to Mayor of Aurora for joining us and showing continued support for global friendship and community harmony. Lidia, Jennifer and Binisha you make the event unforgettable.

We are grateful for the encouraging words from Jeanette, ASCI Board President, and Ricardo from OIIA—your leadership and partnership continue to inspire us. Thank you as well to our Executive Director, Samuel, and all Sister City Committee Chairs. Your speeches were powerful and truly reflected how Aurora remains harmonized with diverse communities from around the world.

This evening reminded us that ASCI is one family—working together to build connections, celebrate culture, and strengthen global sister Cities relationships. As we move into the new year, we look forward to continuing this important work together.

Strengthening Global Partnerships

Aurora Sister Cities International (ASCI), in collaboration with the Office of International and Immigrant Affairs (OIIA), recently met with the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Denver. We were honored to meet with Director General Debby H. H. Huang and Consular Officer Natalia, where we discussed exciting opportunities to strengthen sister city relations between the City of Aurora and New Taipei City.

We extend our sincere appreciation to OIIA for organizing and facilitating this important meeting on behalf of ASCI. Both sides are enthusiastic about the prospect of forming a sister city relationship that fosters cultural exchange, economic collaboration, and mutual understanding.

We are grateful for this opportunity to collaborate and look forward to building a strong and meaningful partnership together.

Join us on Saturday, January 10th!
