President Józef Gajewski is dead
With shock we received the message that President of Suwalki City Municipality Józef Gajewski passed away Sunday 25th July during his holiday in Tuscany, Italy. Gajewski was a popular president among the people of Suwalki and he was also a very popular partner within the Innovation Circle Network. Recently he was opening the Suwalki Blues festival 2010 which is one of the practical results from the IC project. He was very engaged in international relations and a very generous host. His engagement and smile will be missed among his international friends. This is a sad day and we send our warm thoughts to Suwalki.
