On February 7, 2026, the RSCA – Polish Committee had the honor of recognizing and awarding one of the original creators of Roselle Sister Cities.
Linda shared with us how it all began back in October 1999 and it was truly inspiring, especially for our newest members. Her stories brought to life the early days of building a bridge between Bochnia, Poland and Roselle, Illinois, a partnership officially signed in 2003 and 2004 and strengthened over more than two decades of friendship and cultural exchange. Thank you, Linda, for your vision, leadership, and unwavering dedication! We wish you all the very best in this next chapter. You will be deeply missed
Goodbyes are never just about parting—they’re about celebrating the memories, milestones, and community we’ve built together.
