Fwd: Liberian Association of South Carolina

[Tesfaye Kidane]

To all SC Ethiopian Community Members

You are invited to attend the Liberian independence day celebration and fund raising event on July 23/24 2010. See the attached document for detail and email below from John T. Sampson. We are also challenged to have a soccer match with them. I implied to have a 5K running match as we are good at it (some are very good ... Dawit is a good example). Please let me know how many of you can attend the event and support their initiative. I also need a volunteer from Columbia area to organize the soccer team if enough people would like to participate. Unless we can join them for a friendly game.

Please pass the word and forward this email to any body interested

Thank you

Dear Mr. Kidane,

The Liberian Association of South Carolina was founded in 2007 by members of the Liberian community and people with ties to the West African nation of Liberia currently residing in the state of South Carolina, United States of America. These members, having realized the need to consolidate a spirit of community in South Carolina and support the well-being of members, citizens of the State and needy peoples of post-war Liberia, have agreed to organize and establish a non-governmental, not-for-profit humanitarian organization. The purpose of this Association is to provide humanitarian assistances and services to its members, the people of South Carolina, and needy persons of Liberia. The Association goals include organizing and implementing educational, social and developmental programs, and conducting fundraising activities geared towards the general humanitarian goals of the Association, as well as organizing activities and projects for the improvement of the lives of members and needy peoples in Liberia.

In light of the above, we are having a three day celebration to commemorate the Independence of our country. (Please see attached schedule of activities.)

 

For the Banquet on July 23, 2010, tickets will be sold for the amout of $10 a piece. If you and your group are interested in attending the Banquet, please let me know how many tickets you will need so I can send it to you. Please be adviced to come along with your tickets because you will be required to show tickets at the door before entering. Food and drinks will be served free.

 

For the car wash, if you and your group can bring your cars for us to wash it for a minimum fee, we will appreciate it. I will communicate the venue and time to you. The date is Saturday, July 24, 2010.

 

We will also like to play the soccer game against you and your community on Saturday evening, if you have a lot of men. If not, we will still appreciate it if you and your community can join us and we can play among ourselves. 

 

On Sunday, we are having a closing service.  

 

These activities are held in order to raise funds for this Association and to enable it carry out its ‘Bricks to Chairs’ projects in Liberia.

 

We are looking forward to your support.

 

Thanks once again for your willingness. We appreciate.

 

Regards,

 

John Sampson

Secretary, Liberian Association of South Carolina

Hi all, This is just to make some suggestions regarding our upcoming gathering at Myrtle beach on Sep. 18th. As many of you might know, Misrak has organized a show on Sep. 11 in Columbia for the New year. So through conversations with some of my Ethiopian friends, it seems it might be too inconvenient to party/celebrate back to back two weekends. In line with this i wanted to throw the idea of postponing the Myrtle beach meeting and lets hear what the majority feels about the idea.  Beselam,     Measho

hi all,   4 people have responded to my previous email so far. So we still don't know what the majority thinks. As of now, the event is not cancelled, the shelter at Huntington beach is booked. I think, it would be helpful if people let us know if they are interested in keeping the date, that will help us plan accordingly. It would be helpful to hear from the chair/vice as well to reach a decision. I just don't want to create a confusion.  I personally don't mind going to Myrtle beach but it would be more fun in the company of many. So please call/email to vote on in favor/against Sep18th.   Have a wonderful labor day weekend.   Measho   --- On Sat, 6/19/10, Tesfaye Kidane <tesfaye...@gmail.com> wrote:

We would not be able to attend on 9/18, due to other commitments, but
that should not stop the event -if enough people are willing and able to
attend. Hope to see many of you this Saturday ! Tamerat
