New Web Master for LACOSC

We want to announce the appointment of a new Web Master for the Liberian-American Community Organization of Southern California. Emmanuel Wreh will be taking over this improtant responsibility from the original Web Master Elmo Dinkins who has single-handedly managed the website for the last 4 years. We want to thank Mr. Elmo Dinkins for all of his efforts to bring the website to where it is today and for starting it up in the Fall of 2005. Elmo Dinkins will continue to play an active role in supporting the website and is now passing it on to other members of the community for their involvement. Due to a busy schedule and other responsibilities Elmo Dinkins has taken a step back from the day-to-day management of the website and is handing over this responsibility to Mr. Emmanuel Wreh after a recent meeting with the current President of LACOSC, Mr. Lewis Free.

Mr. Emmanuel Wreh, an active member of the community comes from a background of Education and is looking forward to his involvement in making the website a central place for communication in the Liberian community here in Southern California. We want to lend him our fullest support as he embarks in this endeavor and assist him in any way we can. To contact him you can send an email to the following address - lacoscwebmaster@lacosc.org
