The new President of Egbe Omo Obokun of Ijeshaland - New York/New Jersey
Chapter, Mrs. Janet Fashakin, presented an inaugural address at the Town Hall
Meeting and swearing-in of new Executives for 2010-2011.
"On behalf of all of us at Egbe Omo Obokun
of Ijesaland NY/NJ, I welcome everyone and I hope that this will mark
the beginning of unity among all of us the Ijesa sons and daughters in
the
Tristate area comprising of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. I
thank the Association for the trust imposes in my Cabinet to lead the
Egbe for the next two years. Realizing that we have a daunting task
ahead of us in unifying, strengthening and broadening the vision of Egbe,
I want to tell my Cabinet members to buckle up and as I have promised
them it is not going to be all works with no play that makes Jack a dull
boy. We will work and we will have fun together".
