Rakam Kawmi Delegation Coming to California  
   
As the letter below indicates, an official Rakam Kawmi delegation will be coming to Los Angeles, likely in March.  If there is enough interest in the Bay Area, we will ask the delegation to come to the Bay Area for a day as we successfully did last year.

If you are interested in getting a Rakam Kawmi ID card or in renewing your expiring Rakam Kawmi ID, please let us know (by replying to this email) so that we can determine the level of local interest.
