On September 17, 1951, Mayor Vandergriff wrote to Königshofen’s Mayor Kaspar Lurz about Arlington’s decision to help out the residents of Königshofen and about the fact that the people of Arlington were anxious to strengthen the bonds between the United States and Germany and especially the bonds between the two cities. Then on November 29, 1951 Mayor Vandergriff wrote to Mr. Zühlke that they “will be interested to know that we already have several thousand pounds of clothing, bedding, canned goods, thread, needles, etc…” and that “over 100 people are actively working on our committees.”
In recognition of our German Sister City, the Sister Cities of Arlington volunteers have a booth at the Texas Christkindl Market featuring many handmade holiday, lace gifts from Germany. The Sister Cities have items such as decorative tree ornaments, custom light scenes, creative table covers, limited addition Christkindl pins and mugs, and much more.
Rick Allen Designs creates beautiful and unique art jewelry. He designs and creates all of the jewelry. Some of the pieces may get close to what is considered “traditional” jewelry, but mostly he “colors outside the lines” and creates unique, expressive, art jewelry. By far his favorite style is one of a kind, fun art jewelry pieces. He loves it when a person hears a piece speak to them. It’s like they found an old friend they didn’t know they had. There is a joy and a comfort felt when that happens, both for Rick and the person that takes it home.
