Ayindisa Boutique Opening!

Hello everyone

There is a lot happening with Ayindisa, LLC right now and plenty that has already taken place. First, I would like to share some thoughts in regards to the wonderful Ghana Peace Train fundraiser concert that took place last September 19th, 2008 at the Enchanted Garden Music Conservatory in Ridgefield, Connecticut. We had a full house and I want to thank everyone that came out to see Shasha Marley and dance to the awesome reggae music. Isaac Hirt-Manheimer and I only had two crazy months to quickly organize this International event and we were very happy with how everything turned out. Everyone should be happy to know that they helped raise more than $5,000 in just one night. Also with the help and support from CT Folklife Project, a local non-profit this money is now being used for peace, unity and development in Ghana, specifically to help pay for all the peace and unity concerts that are taking place right now in every single region or province of this diverse country. I want to thank my good friend Shasha Marley and Nannaya for all their hard work and time. My prayers are with them and all the other talented and amazing African musicians and supporters of these peace concerts. It is a great thing to be able to use art and music to spread the message of peace and unity between all the various religious, political and tribal elements or groups within Ghana as Ghanaians prepare to vote for a new President in a very heated and close race. Now onto other exciting news.

I am proud to announce the opening of the very first Ayindisa boutique, which will be located at 18 Prospect Street in Ridgefield, CT. Even as I type this right now we are getting closer to opening our doors. I do not want to give too much away but this will definitely be a unique place to shop, visit or be a part of. The boutique is scheduled to open sometime in the first week of December, hopefully the 10th? Please keep visiting the blog or news and events section of our website and look for the most up to date information. I am so excited about this and the Ayindisa family is working very hard so we will be open before Christmas.

Our unique boutique is going to have quality hand made artisan handcrafts, new home décor items, all natural beauty products, beaded jewelry, musical instruments and much more. So if you like our website products and artisans then you will love what will be available for purchase in our new retail showroom and space. Please come check us out and remember to tell all of your friends they are also invited to join us at Ayindisa, Responsible Artisan Handcrafts as we get ready to bring a little bit of Africa to Connecticut.

Sincerely,

Chris Gay
