Hello everyone.

As you know, the demise of Togo's long-time dictator and a rigged election which installed his son to the presidency, has caused massive unrest and a state-sponsored reign of terror on the population, resulting in thousands of injuries, at least 200 murders and many more disappearances, as well as over 30,000 refugees in Benin and Ghana.

Almost everyone we know has  been touched by the violence back home (a father whose knees were broken after armed military thugs broke into his home looking for young men, an uncle who was murdered by the military, countless break-ins to our families' homes by armed soldiers...and it goes on and on.)

So we want to have a party and send the proceeds to help the Togolese refugees in the camps in Benin. Please come and bring a friend!!

WHAT: Benefit Dance Party for Togo with DJ Laurie
WHEN: Saturday, May 28, 10 p.m.
WHERE: The Casbah, 119 E. Main St. (just off the Capitol Square)
Fee: $7 (extra donations gladly accepted)

If you cannot make it, but would like to send a donation, please respond to this email and I will let you know where to send your check.

Thank you all so much for your support and generosity.
With love, and prayers for peace in Togo,
Laurie Mlatawou
