Dear LUCO committee, this is an invitation letter from LUCO Chair, Night Okaj. Please feel free to forward this invitation to all Luos around the world. I already sent this invitation to the Ugandan Luo/Luo community today.
Luo is not a tribe...It is a lifestyle!
Dear Luo and friends around the world,
It is with great honor that I, the Chair of Luo United Communities Organization (LUCO), invite you to the second Luo annual conference to appreciate our similar Luo culture from the Great Lakes Luo Nations of East Africa. The Luo are subgroups of the Luo speaking people who spread from Sudan, Uganda through Congo to Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia. Luo is not a tribe but a lifestyle as expressed during the first, ever, Luo annual conference in 2008. Please visit LUCO website at www.luounite.net for more information about the first Luo annual conference.
I am delighted to invite all Luo and friends to join us for the second annual conference on August-15-2009 at 10:00 am. Venue: Nordic Hall, 218 W. 15th street, Sioux Falls, SD, 57104. Be prepared to learn more about the history of Luo migration across the Great Lakes of East Africa, similarities and differences among the Luo people, enjoy traditional dance, songs, food and other activities. Also, attendees are encouraged to bring and explain traditional artifacts; example musical instruments and costumes. It is advised that participants who wish to share Luo artifacts contact the conference organizing team in advance.
On behalf of LUCO, I look forward to celebrating Luo annual conference 2009 with you. Once again, Luo is not a tribe...It is a lifestyle!
God Bless,
LUCO Chair
Night Okaj
