Indianapolis-Cologne Sister City Committee Visits Cologne - May 2006

The Indianapolis-Cologne Sister City Committee sponsored a special group tour to Cologne May 10-17, 2006.

Non-stop service between the United States and Cologne, Germany, began May 10 on Continental Airlines. Among those selected to be on the inaugural flight was a group from the Indianapolis-Cologne Sister City Committee.

Members of the Freundeskreis Koeln - Indianapolis e.V. met the group upon their arrival at 8:10 a.m. May 11, and planned a series of private tours, meetings and special events -- including a reception with the Lord Mayor of Cologne. Free time allowed for business appointments and other individual pursuits.
