ATLANTA GETS READY FOR MOTHER’S DAY 2009 PICNIC
As mother’s day weekend approaches, Gambians of all ages in Atlanta- young and old are ready to once again attend the annual Mother’s Day Picnic scheduled to take place on Sunday, May 10th, 2009 in Atlanta , Georgia.
Already dubbed by many as the second biggest gathering for Gambians in Atlanta organized on behalf of Gambian women and children, the newly formed Gambia Families Association (GFAA) is hereby inviting Gambians from all over to attend this remarkable weekend for a chance to not only have a good time, but to also see friends and family members.
Judging from the success of last year’s event, GFAA is anticipating a much bigger event . Already, there are signs and indications from the number of volunteers that the Picnic will be full of entertainment and a chance for Gambians to get together once more just to celebrate with our families and loved ones.
With DJ King Solomon poised to entertain the crowd to the fullest, a package of fun programs for the children to participate in, rhythms, traditional and possible performances by other artists, it is obvious and certain that this will be a Mother’s Day Picnic like none other before in Atlanta
We therefore appeal to every SeneGambian in Atlanta and encouraged them to lend a helping hand by joining this worthy endeavor so that our women will once again be shown how special and appreciative we are for every effort they give us by helping raise our families, not to mention their contributions towards the daily struggles of life in America.
