Executive Officers visit Locals in the Caribbean
The International President of the Ethiopian World Federation, Incorporated Barrymore Tittle recently visited three countries where the organization of seventy one years has membership. In October he visited England where there are two Locals, in London and Birmingham.
In November he visited the Commonwealth of Dominica where there is one local and during December he visited Jamaica, where the organization has four locals. He was accompanied by the International Organizer Lloyd Robinson and the International Chaplain Edna Ravenell.
The purpose of the visits was to meet with the membership, answer some of the many questions the members have, observe the difficulties and promises that are critical to the Organization’s failure or success for the future. There was much enthusiasm expressed by the members in all three countries because no international President had made visits for as long as they can remember.
