Another fine meeting!

It was good to meet again and
 be in the company of friends and family 
last saturday, 20th of April 2013.












The Montgomery consortium hosted this time, led by the very busy Ogunbi's 
Dr Mrs Ogunbi, Wami, Madam Social secretary & Dr Ogunbi
- they had another significant event
 going on that day. More on that later.


We celebrated mothers day in advance of the month of May, since we dont have a meeting then.
Gifts to all mothers below in an array of colors...

We welcomed visitors and guests,


 amongst which was a senator
 all the way from Nigeria.



 He had good advice for our kids, encouraging them to learn and speak the
 language and share the culture.





Omo o, e e pe d'agba, kekere jojolo ma bi t'emi...



We engaged the kids in
learning parts of the body in yoruba



 and encouraged them to start thinking what they may want to present to us in the future, it shouldn't always just come from the adults.. .







The theme was blue for autism awareness month - Thanks to our social secretary for highlighting this. Members who showed up in colors other than blue were fined. The fine wont be so lenient next time...

Madam Social Secretary!

Our non yoruba speaking wives were involved in a little lighthearted banter, that necessitated their speaking a word or two of yoruba - and they were "sprayed" as we do, appropriately.




We congratulated Wami Ogunbi, a senior in high school and first time author.
The author signing books for members.
And of course, Rice, Soup, Very Plenty! with asaro, ewa agoyin, iyan, jollof roce, dodo, and various assorted meats. Thank you to our host family, the Ogunbis.
