Thanks Mr Amegashie.  It's indeed an honorable thing you all are doing for
our children, sisters/brothers and friends.

I'm wondering though why women are being called upon to bring "enough food"?
I think it's unfair to those excellent male cooks (you are one of them)
whose cullinary expertise surpasses that of Tante Ama.  Who is Julia Child?
Likewise some of the women are wine aficionados and can bring some "mean"
drinks.
Wait until you try our ginger beer punch (laced with akpeteshie) and
Jamaican Red Stripe.
So, what am I saying?  Your guess is as good as mine.
See you on the 25th.
