STEVENS POINT — City staff met at the police department to board a bus early Tuesday morning as they head out of the city of wonderful water to Gulcz, Poland.
Gulcz, Poland is the sister city of Stevens Point, and Mayor Mike Wiza will travel with some city staff to the region. They will be on this trip until June 1.
Wiza will take the specially made plaque made by local jeweler Thomas Dailing and 3D Printing Consultant Barry Calnan. The trip will take them first to Berlin, with stops in Krakow, Poland, as well as Oświęcim to visit the Auschwitz Memorial. Wiza will also visit distant relatives in the Polish region.
The mayor sees this as an opportunity to further make the cultural connection between Stevens Point and Gulcz, Poland.
