Dear Members,

As we celebrate Ghana’s Independence Month, we are reminded that freedom is not only a historical moment — it is something we build together, as a community, right here in South Carolina.

And speaking of building together… we have a LOT happening.

GHANAIAN INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATION

📅 Date: March 7th 2026

Come hungry. Come proud. Come ready eat.

Expect:
