1st Annual Multi-Cultural, "We Are One" Festival in Historic Eatonville, Florida
A multi-cultural, family friendly, community celebration with entertainment, music, food, local and state elected officials, future and former candidates of all party affiliations.
Orlando, FL, February 16, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Metropolitan Orange Democratic Black Caucus (MODBC) is preparing for its first annual community festival. The “We Are One” Festival will be a multi-cultural, community celebration to thank voters, politicians and everyone in the community for their participation in the 2008 electoral process. People of all heritages and party affiliations came together as one community to select Senator Obama as President-Elect, as well as many state and local officials. The MODBC’s Festival will be a family friendly event with entertainment, music, food, local and state elected officials/candidates of all party affiliations which will take place in historic Eatonville, Florida on Saturday, April 11, 2009 from 10:00am-6:00pm.
The "We Are One" festival was initially scheduled for January 3 but was postponed due to overwhelming response from the community. It was announced on January 12, 2009, the Presidential Inaugural Celebration event at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday, January 18 has been named We Are One (http://www.pic2009.org .) How ironic…but appropriate. It is now time to come together as our community, state and nation embarks on a new journey and new challenges that impacts everyone; we as citizens of the United States need to take the time to embrace Unity in our Diversity.
The MODBC is reaching out to the multi-cultural population at large, because this event will require support from all segments of the Central Florida community (Democrats, Republicans, Independents, etc.) corporations, businesses, including the media, churches/congregations, and residents of all ethnic backgrounds (African-Americans, Hispanics, Haitian, Caucasian, Asian, etc.) Anticipated attendance of at least 10,000 people for this debut event. This event is registered on the calendar at www.mybarackobama.com .
The "We Are One" Festival will be the first of many family oriented events, workshops, as well as other activities to educate, empower and assist local residents to better understand the issues and amendments for upcoming local, state and federal elections. The secondary mission of MODBC is to keep the Eatonville office open as an ongoing resource in this metropolitan community which is essential due to the importance of the I-4 Corridor.
The MODBC is in need of additional corporate sponsors, guest speakers, entertainment, volunteers and vendors to participate in this and future events. Please contact the MODBC by phone, fax or email.
