...A Letter From The President & Board of Directors of LACOSC

To:

Mr. Lorenzo Weeks,

Chairman, Public Relation & Young Adult committees, LACOSC

Dear Lorenzo,

The president of LACOSC, Mr. Lewis Free, and members of the executive committee extend thanks and appreciation to you and your committee members for planning, organizing, and implementing the social event that was held on March 22, 2008. The success of said event was a manifestation of you, and your committee’s hard work, and willingness to be committed to the cause of LACOSC.

The event brought Liberians, other West Africans, and Americans together in a social interaction that was exemplary of our ability to coexist in a harmonious way. That event was well attended, and well supported by the community. Once again, thanks for the organization.

Signed,

Emmanuel Leon Sieh Wreh,

Secretary Designate, LACOSC
