Kate,
Thanks for the contact. Sorry you won't be able to go. It sounds like a really fun event.
Do you know Ghana at all?
Just a thought, too... do you know of the ARISE magazine? I think it's British. I just discovered it, but hear it was around or comming out from an article in Women's Wear Daily.
thanks again!
Hello Kate,
Thank you for the welcome. Will you be attending the Clothes Show Ghana in October?. We are waiting for more information before booking our ticket. We'll also be in Kenya for several weeks in Dec - Jan.
I am not sure what happened to my account. The system made me sign up again so I am on there twice now... strange. Could you maybe check and let me know what I can do? I signed up with my new e-mail lisiprem@gmail.com last week, but when I tried to log on again, the password was rejected. I requested a new one and was guided through setting up a whole new account!
Thanks so much,
Anne-Liese

Many thanks for that welcome note. I only work in East Africa and don't know anyone in Ghana. I'll put my feelers out and see what I can find.
