| AFRICA FEST 2000 was a great success Sat. August 19.
|
| Yes, we did it again! I mean, honestly, the time, effort and all other
| resources invested paid off in many folds. For those of you who did
| not make it for one reason or the other, please plan for AFRICA FEST
| 2001. It will be bigger and better.
