AFRICA FEST 2003!!!!

Flyers were sent out recently to intimate you with AAM's undertaking for
Africa Fest 2003.
To those who have responded to the flyers, we thank you. Those flyers also
enumerated the essence of our festival  and our effort to safeguard and
share with the Wisconsin Community the diverse heritage and traditions
inherent in the rich cultures of AFRICA.

dubbed:  AFRICA IS NOT A COUNTRY but a continent of great diversity!!!!

The African Association of Madison, Inc. invites each and everyone to the
festival

It is our festival!  The festival will be what we make it!  We must make it
real!
Your festival committees continue to work very hard to showcase our best.
With current budget constraints, our best can only be achieved with your
help.

We encourage you all to take a second look at the flyers as your
donation/contribution towards this festival is highly needed.  This is the
time to show our pride.  Your tax-deductible donation will help defray the
expenses of Africa Fest 2003.  No amount is too little.

Please make your donation  payable to "African Association of Madison, Inc."
