SPECIAL THANKS TO THE MANGA MEMBERS WHO TRULY MADE THIS EVENT A SUCCESS:


Christian and Mark Poret and family. They contributed to the spirit of Kwanzaa this year with food and unconditional support. Mark Poret took charge in training the children for the opening drum call, while Christian polished the dancers in the company. They also contributed to the wonderful food you experienced at our buffet table. Manga is glad to have them on the team and hopes future endeavors are just as successful with their help.
