Hello All,
The Eritrean Community in Minnesota would like to invite all Eritreans and
friends of Eritrea to join us as we celebrate the 24th anniversary of our
Independence Day. There will be a picnic program during the day at 2400
East Upper Afton RD, Maplewood, MN. 55119. from 10:30am - 6:00pm and a
night of music and cultural party with the famous Isaac Simon at the
Eritrean Community Center, 1935 University Ave. West, St.Paul, MN. 55104.
The Eritrean Community Center of Minnesota would also like to announce that
we had sent out letters inviting US Government representatives to join us
in celebrating our Independence. United States House of Representatives,
Congresswoman Betty McCollum of the fourth congressional district of
Minnesota and United States Senator Amy Klobuchar responded positively to
the invitations and sent the attached letters of support to the Eritrean
community in Minnesota. Both Betty McCollum and Amy Klobuchar, as well as
other representatives had in the past either sent letters, sent
representatives from their offices or attended in person on a number of our
functions, at the request of the Eritrean Community Center of Minnesota. It
is to be noted that the Mayor of the City of Saint Paul, Christopher B.
Colman had previously proclaimed May 24th to be Eritrean Day in Saint Paul.
Mayor Colman recognized the great accomplishments and contributions of the
Eritrean people in their long struggle for liberation from Ethiopia.
