Two years today, 35 enthusiastic Commandos from continentalUnited States, Canada and some observers from Nigeria answered the clarion callat 9pm Eastern time for a phone conference. The electrifying excitement and energyled to the birth of COJOSA-North America.We remain a non-governmental, non-political, voluntaryorganization, registered as a charity in the State of Texas. Today we reaffirm to a vision of being the most impactfuland progressive alumni organization to our alma mater, country and localcommunities anchored on the highest standards of excellence, integrity andtransparency. We rededicate to a mission of identifying and organizing theover two hundred alumni of CSSJ resident in North America so as develop andstrengthen the future leaders and talents emerging from our alma mater. We renew our commitment to respect the rules and laws of ouroperational environment and ethics of a charitable organization. To our indefatigable members, fellow commandos and friends,we appreciate every seed you have sown as we plant and build. It is onlythrough your generosity and commitment that COJOSA-NA is able to get to thismilestone and as we look forward to providing positively impacting assistanceto CSSJ. To our brothers and sisters still on the fence or on theother side of it; we can only but respectfully appeal that you take a bold stepof faith for a noble cause. Today, our Command has changed, not as we desire.However, we believe that this is a defining moment, a chance to contribute inbringing the progress we desire at our alma mater. Not as a debt you owe, butan expression of your love for a school that significantly contributed to whoyou are today. We ask of you to join hands with us as we strive to build astrong organization; a platform to fashion out ways to give back to the school.Our hope and prayer is for your little bit: that time, that idea or suggestion,that criticism or finance, that serves as a building block for this platformand as a catalyst in achieving the vision and mission of this organization. Please join us to pop another E-Champaign as wecelebrate two years of service to humanity. Mary Tombiri-Ero (president) On behalf of the Exco & Members COJOSA-NA
