>Hi Dr. Iyi-Iweka,
>
>I'm writing to follow-up on my phone call earlier today (Sat.) about the
>possibility of the African Association of Madison (AAM), and the African
>Womens Association (AWA) participating in the up-coming Wiscsonsin Public TV
>(WPT) pledge drive.
>
>I received an e-mail (appended below) from Sheldon Ellestad, the Volunteer
>Manager for WPT, about the pledge drive, and wanted to bring it to your
>attention. We talked about it a while back, and I think now is a great time
>to re-consider participating in the pledge drive. Not only would be a
>valuable experience for AAM, and AWA members, it would also help give these
>organizations more exposure in the state. Furthermore, with the pledge
>drive being close to the Africa Fest 2000 date, I think participating in the
>WPT pledge drive would be a great way to promote the festival. Please
>e-mail or call Sheldon directly to follow-up on this e-mail. His office
>phone number is 262-8508.
>
>Also, I might as well take this opportunity to ask whatever came out of our
>conversation about hosting Sen. Feingold for a dinner with the African
>community. I would like to know if you had an opportunity to discuss it
>with the AAM Executive, and if so, what your decision was. Given that
>Summer's here, and we are heading into an campaign season, we have to start
>working on the dinner, if at all it's going to be had.
>
>By the way, I would not be able to attend today's AAM meeting. But, as
>always, you have my full support! For your information, I am copying this
>e-mail to Ann Marie Dawson of AWA.
>
>I guess that's about it for now. Have a great weekend, and best wishes.

>Sincerely,

>> Hi Shel,
>>
>> It was my pleasure too talking to you about your auction. I talked to the
>> President of the African Association of Madison, and told him that I would
>> forward him your e-mail message. He told me that the Executive is meeting
>> this Saturday, and he'll table the idea before them. We'll have to wait
>> until Monday before we hear from them. I did tell him though, that you
>had
>> told me that it was all a first-come, first-served deal, and that was
>that.
>> Unfortunately, I could not send him the available time periods right away,
>> because the Chorus Networks mail server was down. I suspect it must have
>> been related to the "I love you" virus, now being dubbed "the love bug."
>>
>> At any rate, I told the AAM president that even if it would not be
>possible
>> to work something out this time around, we have at least opened-up some
>> communication channels, and that's a start. I'll also send your e-mail to
>> Peter Munoz, an aide to the Mayor of Madison, and one of the key people in
>> the Communities United Organizaton. We can talk more about that and other
>> associations and issues later, after your auction is over. For now, you
>can
>> rest assured that I'll contact you either by phone or e-mail if I get any
>> feedback from the people I've contacted.
>>
>> Thanks a lot for the great work, and best wishes for a wonderful weekend!
