9th - The next BJAM meeting will be held in Baltimore - 122 S. Mount St., 21223.   The meeting will start at 3pm and you're more than welcome to bring food and beverages just call/email beforehand what you plan to bring. There is an informal agreement to have at least one cookout this year (maybe one in April and one in May) and there has also been the idea to host an evening function at The Embassy. Both events would require significant planning and clearance from The Embassy. This will be a big part of the discussion on Sunday. If you can't make it but want to put your 2 cents in then please e-mail Khandra with your ideas.

19th - Taste of the Bahamas Souse Out will be held at the Embassy (2220 Massachusetts. Ave, NW, Washington DC) from 10a-3p. Contact Khandra at  ksears@bjamdc.org for tickets and/or donations. Click here for flyer.
