Yo Ghana! Dinner Update

Just a couple more weeks until Yo Ghana! has its first big bash, in collaboration with the Association of African Students of PSU and sponsored by EAI Information Systems and Thompson & Bogran PC..  It looks like most of our twenty or so Oregon teachers will be in attendance, and a good swath of our students and many West African ex-pats and other friends.

The Obo Addy Legacy Project will be drumming and dancing, Madam Victorine and her crew will be cooking, Dr. Agorsah will be the emcee, and Matthew Essieh will be our keynote.  And we'll be giving some awards to some special people and honoring all of our teachers for taking on Yo Ghana! work on top of everything else.

It's May 3, 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Smith Memorial Union Ballroom, PSU.

We are striving to make the dinner a microcosm of what Yo Ghana! stands for.  We won't be requiring anyone to pay anything to attend, we'll be presenting Ghanaian and American people and cultures as equal partners, and we'll be doing a lot of laughing with, supporting of, and learning from one another.

If you want to join the fun, make your reservation soon at: yoghana.org@gmail.com

Hope to see you there,

David
