February 25, 2009. We invite you to come celebrate International Washington at the Governor’s Mansion with the Governor and State Legislators.
International Washington Day Reception
As we all know, Washington state is tied to the international economy like no other. Whether it is the goods flowing through our ports, international students studying in our schools, tourists at our hotels, theaters and museums or the rich international cultures that infuse our state, Washington is international.
We invite you to come celebrate International Washington at the Governor’s Mansion on Wednesday, February 25 from 5:30pm – 7:30pm with the Governor and State Legislators. This is a unique opportunity to remind ourselves of just how international our state is. We will note the hundreds of sister city relationships in our state, the foreign companies employing Washington state workers, the exchange programs with countries all over the world and much, much more. Governor Gregoire has opened up the Mansion for this special event and will be giving brief remarks. Brazilian musician Eduardo Mendonça will perform at the reception.
