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.”
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.
