2009 Zanzibari Reunion – Update Bulletin April 5, 2009 It seems that with the help of all, the word of our Reunion is spreading fast, and the interest continues to build as good wishes for a successful Reunion continue to pour in from near and afar! This is great, and serves as a powerful tonic to your Organizing Committee. In our March 15 Bulletin (see below), we encouraged people to purchase their tickets for the Reunion as soon as possible to help us properly plan this event and many people have responded to that request. However there are many others who have registered their intention to attend on our website but have still not purchased their tickets. In order to help us and avoid disappointment please attend to this important matter soon. Past organizers of similar events advise us that people generally submit their payments very close to the date of the event, with many showing up at the door on the night of the event, expecting to purchase their tickets at the door. We understand the natural tendency to procrastinate on matters, particularly in our Zanzibari community where the words “kesho” and “badaye” are as common as “haluwa” and “kahawa” but folks we need your help to book early so we may adequately plan for the catering and entertainment. We are not planning to sell tickets at the door and so cannot guarantee entrance to those who arrive without tickets. Details of how to purchase tickets are set out in our previous correspondence below. Thank you for your support and participation. Your Organizing Committee |
