On November 02 to 04 Tataiana Ponomareva a resident of our sister City in Timashevesk, Russia visited Lethbridge. Tatiana has a long lasting relationship with our twinning society. It was Tatiana who provided interpretation services for us as a delegation when we visited Timashevsk in 1992.

The Photo album of the visit

Tatiana is a retired teacher from Timashevsk School No. 1. She currently still teaches privately and in particular teaches English to her students.

Although Tatiana had a short visit, members of our Society certainly made her welcome and extended the most gracious hand of friendship. We are certain that her visit was both rewarding and will be memorable to her. We only hope that Tatiana will be able to visit again, and that her next visit will not be as brief.

Felix our Director for Timashevsk Russia and a committee of the Lethbridge Twinning Society have been in contact with the School No. 11 in Timashevsk, Russia. Our member, Lucy has been so kind as to send and receive e-mails and has provided us with translations.

As a result, Lethbridge Twinning Society Members have prepared 15 gift boxes that are being sent to students at Timashevsk School No. 11 as a reward for their excellent studies. Director of the School Evgeni Guyduk has identified worthy students and they will be rewarded with a gift box from Lethbridge Twinning Society members! (The boxes should arrive in Timashevsk before Christmas).
