Wongs
to Lead Sister City Trip
Les
and Phyllis Wong will lead a dozen local
delegates to Japan as part of Marquette's sister city exchange
program.
They
will visit Higashi Omi – the name for the new
city that will be formed by the Feb. 11 merger of Yokaichi
and four neighboring towns. It is located about 230 miles
southwest of Tokyo. The trip is planned May 19-30.
Marquette
and Yokaichi entered into a sister agreement 25 years ago
with the goal of promoting cultural, economic, educational,
information, athletic and other exchanges. |
NMU
at 80 Percent of United Way Goal
NMU employees and
retirees have pledged about $27,000 to the United Way of Marquette
County. This is just shy of 80 percent of the $34,000 campus
campaign goal.
Pledge forms, distributed
in November, may still be returned to 1206 University Center.
To obtain another form, contact Bernadette Norden at 2439.
