Dear Okuti, you have surprised me of the family day. When Sam got accident I thought the activity did not take place because we had also contributed but we never got any communication and we took it for granted that because Sam who was taking lead in organizing it had got a problem, probably it was postponed. So how did it go?. It looks abit strange though.
