Washington D.C.

Dear President Elect Barack Obama,

My name is Kathryn Blake, and I am one of the KWANZAA Committee Co-Chairs of Flint, Michigan.   The celebration of KWANZAA is over 20 years old here in Flint, MI, thanks to the Mother of Afrocentric Knowledge for Flint, Mrs. E. Hill Deloney.
I am writing this letter to you to invite you to our KWANZAA Celebration, and we celebrate all seven days, with a different organizations hosting a principle each night.
I know you are busy with the economy crisis, and I respect the way you are handling everything , especially your appointments of the “Executive Dream Team”. You are showing the entire country your intent to rebuild the economy if we all work together. This is what encouraged me to invite you to the KWANZAA Celebration observing the principle of UJAMAA- Cooperative Economics, on December 29, 2008- (Monday).   UJAMAA, - To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other business, and to profit together from them. Sharing our gifts and working together in our communities, our schools, and our places of worship to benefit from them together. All will be blessed in every way, and all will continue to be blessed and give generously. I hear in your message that we all need to share, and I appreciate that because it is a message from Christ. We are praying for you, and want to see you again, because the Lord is using you to bless the people of this country. As we pause and reflect- we think of ways to support the efforts of our neighbors, patronizing new grocery stores, bookstores, local businesses and establishments to contribute to the “JUMP START” of the ECONOMY.
KWANZAA to be held at: Christ Enrichment Center, 322 Hamilton Ave. Flint, Michigan, 48504, December 26th – Jan 1st 6:30 pm.

We thank God for you
Kathryn Blake, blakeka81@aol.com
Committee Chair
