A SUCCESFUL CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION
LINK RESOLUTION: http://mestyat.com/Resolution_1153007.pdf
After a successful 3-days annual Western USA Eritrean Festival held during August 12 – 14, 2011; on early Thursday morning of August 18, 2011 a number of Eritrean- Americans headed to the Capitol Hill of California located in the City of Sacramento.
Despite an early hour trip, originally estimated a modest number of Eritrea-Americans started swelling in number. Assembly member Michael Allen; a representative of Sonoma County (7th District California Legislature) greeted a crowd of Eritrean-Amecans who are residents of the state of California.
Assembly member Allen said he was pleasantly surprised to see whole more Eritrean-Americans attending an early morning ceremony.
WHY SO MUCH EXCITEMENT?
Well, the state of California invited representative of Eritrean-American communities who reside in California to witness the passage of resolution 11-53007.
Resolution 11-53007 states that;
“Assembly member Michael Allen recognizes the significant contributions of those individuals of Eritrean ancestry living in California, who represent the best of the American spirit and hope for the future.â€
The resolution was passed unanimously on the sade of August 18, 2011 around 9 O’clock in the morning. The passage of such resolution is a success to all Eritrean-Americans residing in California and bears witness to their dynamic, peaceful and productive presence.
This is a milestone towards the future of all Eritrean-American communities residing in California in their relentless effort to stand steadfast and vigilant in representing their cultural heritage and contribute positively towards their host nation; the United States.
