An Invitation to the Community Cupertino-Toyokawa Sister Cities Inc. to host Community Bell-Ringing for Peace.

Please arrive promptly and bring a bell and join us.

In 2020, Cupertino-Toyokawa Sister Cities Inc. (CTSC) held a city-wide Bell Ringing for Peace Zoom event  (see below video) recognizing 75 years of peace between the US and Japan. In addition to the well-known atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WWII, Cupertino’s sister city of Toyokawa, Japan was also bombed as it was the location of Japan’s Naval Armory.
