I am hoping to spread the word regarding STGDP of MN's second fundraising event scheduled for April 22nd @ 4:00 pm at the Hampton Inn Hotel in Minnetonka, MN.The evening is called the Bantaba and it is designed to give community members the opportunity to come together and learn more about Save the Gambia Democracy Project, gather information regarding our upcoming fundraising initiatives and just discuss, vent, and air out all thoughts and feelings regarding the past few weeks happenings in the Gambia.

 There will be food, drinks and games we do request a small donation to challenge others to a game of cards, checkers, scrabble, etc. We are hoping to combine a night of serious discussion with a bit of fun mixed in. All proceeds for the evening will be given to NADD. So, as a HUGE favor to our organizers, I am asking Gambia-L members to pick up the phone and call your relatives or friends here in MN and let them know we are having this event-this is an act of participation and support and we do appreciate any help we can get to get the word out there. I am attaching our flyer that gives more detail and again, thank you for your help.
