May 14, 2026
The Rotary Club of Newport, Oregon was honored to welcome a delegation from our Sister City, Mombetsu, during the May 14, 2026 meeting.
Newport and Mombetsu (pronounced “mom-bets”), Japan have shared a special Sister City relationship since 1966. Over the past six decades, this partnership has created lasting friendships, meaningful cultural exchanges, and strong connections between the two communities. The program continues to provide opportunities for learning, understanding, and international goodwill that are deeply valued by both Newport and Mombetsu.
