Dear African Dance & Drum Community,

I am writing to share with you exciting news about an upcoming 
religious event at  Harvard Divinity School.  
Maude Evans, a respected mambo(Vodou priestess) will be conducting a 

Vodou service in the  Andover Chapel at Harvard University
on  Friday, April 13, 2007, 7pm-9pm.

This will, to our knowledge, be the first public Vodou service to ever occur at 
 Harvard University.  Please join us in celebrating this occasion!

I am including a fuller description of the event below, in both English 
and Kreyol. Out of respect for the bilingual nature of this event, we ask that  
it be advertised in both languages, and that the two flyers be posted together.

Please publicize this event widely.  I invite you to forward this 
notice to anyone who may be interested.  I may be contacted for more information. 

Warm wishes,
Adam McGee

candidate, masters of theological studies
