Atlanta Gambians Bring Special Father’s Day Picnic
Event highlights prestigious “Father of The Year Award”
Now that the 2010 Mother’s Day Weekend activities have passed and seen by many as an obvious success held on behalf of the Gambian women, GFAA-Gambia Families Association is once again poised to present to the Atlanta community its second biggest summer program, The Father’s Day Picnic.
For the third time in the history of Gamlantans (Gambians in Atlanta), our women are once again ready to reciprocate and show their men how appreciative they were of the Mother’s Day events held on their behalf.
So, if you live in the Atlanta area or in the Diaspora, whether you are young or old , you must once again come to the Ben Hill Recreation Center on Father’s Day-Sunday , June 20th, 2010 to witness the women’s determination to show their appreciation and commitment in style.
For the first time in the history of the activities under the auspices of The Gambia Families Association, the women will be presenting an unprecedented, very unique and prestigious: Atlanta Father of The Year Award, which has surprisingly, already triggered unprecedented response and enthusiasm.
We therefore ask that all Gambians living in the Atlanta area to please lend a helping hand to make this a successful event by donating and participating in any way you deem appropriate, whether in the form of food, drinks, money or whatever one feels he or she can contribute.
As we strive to solidify unity, togetherness and above all the importance of the Gambian family in the Diaspora, GFAA is also asking every one to come mingle with fellow Gambians and continue to promote the love, friendship and camaraderie we are known for.
