A Common Cause to All: A Convening of the States
As our countries continue to learn about the far-reaching consequences of the coronavirus, the solidarity of a caring community gives us hope. On behalf of the members of Sister Cities of Hampton, Virginia, we send our thoughts and best wishes to our Vendôme family!
