" PAN SOLIDARITY FORUM "

[Keith Marcelle]

To the community at large, United States Steelband Association Inc. (USSA) is hosting a "PAN SOLIDARITY FORUM" on Saturday March 20th, 2010 4pm to 6pm at IS 68 956 E82nd Street between Avenue J and Flatlands Blvd.

 

We attempted to do this last week, but the weather prevented us from accomplishing that. To those who came out in spite of the weather ,I apologize for the postponment.

 

On January 18th, of this year on the message board of "When Steel Talks" someone called syncopators suggested this idea, so we are trying to present it at this time.

The agenda will include:

An address on solidaruty ( why, when, how)

A status report on USSA to date.

Discussion on the lead up to the "vote of no confidence" there have been a lot of speculation on its legality, we welcome those who believe it's not legal and will like to know the reasons why they think so.

There will be aquestion and answer segment.

We urge eveyone to come out, bandleader, panist, pan lover, pan supporter. We did send special invitations to those bands who resigned their mmbership from USSA, and we renew that invitation now.We also offer this, the door is always open for you to return.

It is important for us to talk about and examine all that we will mis out on without unification.

The building closes promply at 6pm so please come on time to fully utilize the time we have.

We hope to end this forum and walk away TOGETHER IN UNITY!

Dear Mr. Marcelle,
I hope that we "panmen" do attend. I am not a resident of NY, but I hope that proceedings would be recorded and will be available for those of us who cannot attend. Of course there must be a token fee to help offset your expenses.

You mention that an invitation was send out to all former U.S.S.A members who are are now members of of the NATIONAL ALLIANCE OF STELLBANDS.I did'nt get any invite .maybe this will be the right time to present the minutes of December 30th meeting when it was mention that the COUP was done democratically and that may be the case.Ike is a dictator to the fullest.One member stated that seems as if the interim committee just stepped in and took over the association as if it was coup He also felt that the elections date was a rush as well. How can you talk about together in unity.

The Members of N.A.S ( with Unity our Entity Stands Strong)
