2016 Ennis Phoenix student exchange begins

Four young people from Phoenix will arrive in Ennis on Monday next to participate in a three-week long exchange as part of the longstanding twinning relationship between the Clare County and Arizona State capitals.

The new Mayor of Ennis, Cllr. Ann Norton, will perform one of her first official functions at the Rowan Tree Café on Tuesday at 12.30pm when she hosts a lunch for eight Ennis Phoenix Youth Ambassadors for 2016, among them the recently arrived Phoenix contingent as well as four Ennis students due to depart for Arizona next month.

The Ennis Phoenix Twinning Committee, which is part-funded by Clare County Council, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2013.
