Friday, February 13th, 2009

Tis the weekend of love and APA wants to show you some love.

Come and enjoy an evening of sweet chocolaty chocolates with APA. A red rose for the first 10 ladies to come to this special evening.

THIS LOVE THING..

It is not common to find an African man (atleast in BG) with a slim Caucasian woman or an African woman with a Caucasian man. What is even more rare is to find an African, male or female, dating an African American, male or female.

Tonight we are exploring the African mindset of dating and relationships in terms of interracial and intercultural ones. We all want to hear your point of view, so come out tonight.

FASHION SHOW
Africa! its time for you to shine; sign up for the fashion show and show off what your culture has to offer.

We meet in 201A BTSU @ 6:00pm. come and enjoy this wonderful evening with us as we take a tour into the African mindset of love and romance.
