Are you for real Sister Fatou?? I'm gonna be there God willing. Don't worry I will keep you posted about my schedule before attending July 4TH. I will send you my contacts when the time is due. Perhaps, I will treat you for a launch while in Atlanta. Tell me how you feel about the launch invitation? Get prepared. Good day.
