Dear Patron:
Loyola Park Advisory Council is planning a special Afrikan Heritage program in honor of Black History Month on February 22, 2009. This year we have the International Society of Sons and Daughters of Slave Ancestry.
As the program coordinator, I am working with Mary Hopkins, Mary Bao, Sandra Glpsie, Katie Hogan, and Anita Sims of Loyola Advisory Council to present a program that will add rich culture to the Rogers Park community while providing fun, education, food, music, and performers that all ages, all genders can appreciate.
We need your help to make this event successful. Please attend. Although the event is free, please feel free to help us offset costs by donating cash or service, or food (especially looking for donations from restaurants or caterers).
Sincerely,
Selena Derry (Awoleye) Planning Coordinator
On behalf of Loyola Park Advisory Council
Honor elders who share wisdom. Live the dream—make it happen. Be known by your character. Let your word be your bond. Keep crime in check. Make decisions responsibly. Love for the sake of living. Help a worthy person. Mentor a child. Bring order to chaos. YES, WE CAN!
