Rakam Kawmi Delegation Coming to California
Your Response is Needed
We learned from the Egyptian Consulate in Los Angeles that arrangements are under way to have an official Rakam Kawmi delegation come to Los Angeles, likely in May. 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 ASAP (by replying to this email: EASCAFE@gmail.com) so that we can determine the level of local interest.
Please pass this email to your friends who might not be on our distribution list.
