Special Sierra Leone Program and Reception in Washington

Maybe you can post this on our blog in case anyone is interested.  It is on the website for PC 50th events.                               - Judy Cline
In recognition of Peace Corps being established and the Independence of Sierra Leone occurring 50 years ago, we are delighted to announce Friends of Sierra Leone and the Sierra Leone Embassy are jointly sponsoring a special event that will take place in Washington, DC.  It will be held at Africare House on Friday, September 23rd from 3pm until 8pm.
We are planning to have briefings conducted by key staff from the U. S. State Department, the Sierra Leone Embassy and the Peace Corps.  Their presentations will get underway around 3pm.  They will include adequate time for a question and answer session.  The rest of the time will be given over to a reception that will include a variety of light food as well as beer, wine and soft drinks.  We also expect to have recorded music featuring artists from Salone and other African countries.
Additional details about the program will be provided in the future as we are able to confirm our guest speakers and special guests.
Please let us know if you are going to be in Washington at that time and whether you plan to attend the event.  Just send us an email at: info@fosalone.org
