Amadou, thanks for your response.  I agree with you, but I
   think we need to change that.  I belive this could be done if
   the organizers put some emphasis on that aspect of the
   get-together.  We spent a lot of time on our key boards
   discussing these issues and I think the next logical step is
   to meet and really assess our situation.  The folks in Atlanta
   should realize that a lot of our people are being alienated
   from these events because of the perception that it's devoid
   of substance.  I hope to hear from the organizers soon.

Mr. Silla:

I have been attending July 4th (Gambian Reunion) programs since 1983; and I
know that programs aimed at discussing the Gambia's future fail to attract
but a few dedicated souls.

Ask Latjor, Tombong, Mafy, Baboucarr Sillah, and other "veterans" of the
Reunion.  May be  the folks in Atlanta could come up with a new recipe to
increase interest in such events.
