[Sng-discuss] Sixth Annual African PEACE Festival June 12

[Svattheriver at aol.com]

You are cordially invited to the Sixth Annual African  Peace Festival June 12 
noon to 7pm at Matthews Park.
This is our most challenging but successful effort to empower  and connect 
with our African immigrant community. It is an event that provides  substance to 
our community outreach that does more than just talk about  welcoming 
diversity but is a safe and wonderful place to share and understand  our different 
cultures.
This is also a great event for towers residents to meet each other.
It has been very interesting to work with folks from 16 different nations  to 
put together this wonderful celebration of culture. This is a completely  non 
profit event put together by volunteer organizers. The music represents  a 
geographical cross section of African Music featuring: Innocent, Shalita,  
SunPlu'gd, Toureg, An Ethiopian Jazz Band, Congolese Soukous and more. All are  
invited.  
Thanks,
