IIHonorable Mayor
Taufkirchen, Bavaria
1 Your Honor:
I The City of Chanhassen, Minnesota, USA, was extremely honored to
receive a token from your community as a part of our City Council
meeting of January 9 , 1989 . Mr. Steffan Griesser is an
1 outstanding young man - one of whom your country and ours can be
extremely proud.
It is with the deepest of respect and desire to insure that our
1 friendship shall continue into the years ahead that I present the
attached tokens of our appreciation.
1 The board was cut from a maple tree - the tree for which our com-
munity was named. Specifically, it was the American Indian who
first settled our area and gave the City its name of "Chanhassen”
in recognition of the numerous stands and beauty of the sugar
I maple trees within our community. The maple syrup is also a pro-
duct of our native Minnesotan sugar maples . _ Pure maple syrup is
unique to this area and other parts of North America where sugar
Imaples are abundant.
On behalf of the Chanhassen City Council, I would again like to
I thank you for your hospitality. May 1989 be a good and
prosperous year for you and our cities .
Sincerely,
I ,-
