6 Convention Chairman s Special Invitation to GSSA Alumni If you had the historic opportunity to visit Washington DC during the Inauguration of Barack Obama as America s 44 th and the first ever Black President, then you would certainly understand my great joy and excitement as I extend this specially invitation for your presence and participation in this year s GSSA World Con 09, which will take place in Washington DC, from August 7 to 9. For all Mgbomians who some how managed to have missed Barack Obama s inauguration, this is your great historic and unforgettable event. Yes indeed, this is your time and your moment. Seize this once in a life time opportunity to come (with your family & friends) to our Global Convention! Truly, this is your opportunity to look at history from multiple levels and points of relevance. As you may already know, GSSA World Con 09 would indeed be the largest congregation of GSSA Alumni yet, on US soil. We shall all be part of history as we travel through memory lane to look at ourselves, where we have come from and where we can go together from here. To pay a visit and bring your families and friends to this historic region at this period is to put them squarely in the eyes of world history. Coming to visit Washington (in the era of Barack Obama) during the GSSA World Con 09 is to indulge in History, a convention and a vacation all combined, at the Center of Gravity. We can all look forward to much fun and great nostalgic times. This event you can not afford to miss. Today, register for your historic convention; make your hotel & travel reservations early and begin to pack your bags for one of the greatest events of this year. You should have no excuses! See you at the Center of Gravity. GSSA WORLD Con 09. Best regards, Leonard O. Ozoemena
