Re: Addendum from MICROWAVE /// 2013 Cameroon Cultural Festival Updates

Good people,

The below time table from Mishe Fon is correct with a "but". Closing at 9 p.m. means we should be out of not only the hall but the entire school compound by 9 p.m. and that is after cleaning the place as agreed. Therefore, activities will be closed around 8 p.m. in order to allow time for clean-up.

As usual, we have reserved a surprise package for your enjoyment. Because of time, our surprise package will be on stage very early into the event. The event begins at 11,30 a.m. Come early.

Performers and other artists who want to "Perform" and who live around the DMV area should and must attend the last meeting on Sunday so that all the "I"s are dotted and T's crossed. Production is always a nightmare and needs a lot of collaboration from all and sundry. We should

discourage this attitude of ours (always waiting till the last minute) B4 showing up. Anyone who wants to be part of the event MUST show some seriousness of purpose by coming personally to the Planning Meeting. No Ifs, No Buts.

Address of meeting Venue: 6909 Presley Road, Lanham MD 20706

On Dignitaries; I think it is confirmed that the Governor of Maryland will attend. Cameroon Ambassador to the US has confirmed participation with many of his Diplomatic colleagues of different Embassies. PG County Executive will be represented. I guess other Cameroonian "dignitaries" who have been sitting on the Fence may now understand the importance and Non-Partisan nature of what the ACCDF is doing to promote Cameroon Culture...and may just show up as (PGC's) "Permanent Gate Crashers". You know the Cameroon Minister of Culture and other affiliated Ministries (Tourism, Communications, Education, Small and Medium Size Enterprises) were all Invited to grace this occasion...but comme d,habitude...No Call, No Show. They did not as much as acknowledge receipt of their official Invitation. Apparently, their very busy schedules were in conflict with attending an important "Cultural" event. It absolutely beats my cerebellar functions and "chatouilles" my medulla oblongata to imagine how the Ministry of CULTURE will not be represented at a Cameroon Cultural event. Perhaps I am suffering from peripheral neurosis.

This year, Cameroonians shall RESPECT TIME whether we like it or not. The Event is going to Start on Time and End on Time. That Auditorium will be closed exactly at 9pm. I don't know of a single Cameroonian who goes LATE to work or who goes to "American Fonctions" at his convenience...WELL, we will behave like Gentlemen and Ladies this time by respecting our Guests. We will Start on Time and Close on Time. Please Cultural Groups, Check the Program and follow the synchronization as laid out by the Production committee. Don't come and tell us the man "knacking" your drums is stuck in traffic or the mammie who is to answer the "Ho Ho Ho"..."n'est pas encore arrivee". Well, that will be too bad because you will have forfeited your turn of participation. I am sorry, but we have to put some discipline here. We have to demonstrate some amount of decorum and respect for ourselves. All Cultural Groups participating MUST bring along for EDITING their "Kontri Dance" CD's this SUNDAY. Don't come on the day of the Festival with your CDs. It will not be accepted. We want to showcase our ability in Self-Discipline.

VENDORS: Businesses, NGO's, Insurance Brokers, Bankers, Writers, Movie Producers...Come and promote your activities to Fellow Cameroonians and friends of Cameroon. Participation is $100.00.

NB: Only Registered Groups will participate.
