Bakary Simon Bojang originally from the Gambia and been in Finland since 1989 has won a City council election and will be serving his city Lappeenranta for a four year term. For those who might not know Baks, he is a dormant member of this forum. He was born in Brikama and left the Gambia like most of us for greener pastures and have always been interested in politics. He has been a member of the City of Lappeenranta cultural affairs committee board and second member of the city council. He will be taking his new position on November 1st. Bakary, I wish you all the best in your endeavors. Remember to put the interest of your people first. My best regards to you and your family. Ousman Bojang. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
