Independence Day Celebration in Chemnitz

July 1, 2005
About 500 guests flocked to the Leipzig Consulate General’s 4th of July celebration, which took place at the Chemnitz Industrial Museum. In their speeches, Saxony Minister President Georg Milbradt and Chemnitz Lord Mayor Peter Seifert underscored the good relations with the Consulate and the importance of people-to-people contacts across the Atlantic. The Independence Day celebration was also staged as a farewell for Leipzig’s American officers, Consul General Fletcher Burton, Consul for Public Affairs Dr. Elizabeth Bonkowsky and Consul for Political and Economic Affairs Eleanore Fox, who each moderated short power-point presentations with their personal and professional highlights from the Leipzig consular district.
