President’s Welcome Address Mr. Chairman, Distinguished guests, Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to welcome all of you to this inauguration and music launching ceremony. As the evening progresses, you will find out that we, the gentlemen of Enugu Men’s Club of Atlanta, do not take your presence for granted, as we have left no stones unturned to ensure that you have an enjoyable evening, one that is reminiscent of the good old Enugu days. To those who had come from far and wide, I say, “welcome to Atlanta”. First and foremost, I must thank the wives of Enugu Men’s Club of Atlanta, especially my beautiful wife of 32 years, Tina, who has provided the guidance and support that has helped bring us this far. These beautiful ladies of EMC Atlanta continue to exemplify the biblical term, “help meet”, and for that, we give all honor and glory to the Almighty God. Though members of this organization come from different parts of Nigeria, we place high expectation that, with at least one year of residency in Enugu, one would have easily inherited the Enugu DNA, the main component of which are love and compassion. It is this Enugu DNA that brought us together, ironically on Father’s Day of 2012, to use this power of oneness for services to our communities. But first, we realized that we have to become better individuals, husbands, fathers, and brother’s keepers, in order to become effective custodians of our respective communities. I am happy to acknowledge that God is perfecting all that concerns members of Enugu Men’s Club of Atlanta. While we are focused on improving self and family, we are also engaged in a suite of community service projects that are mutually beneficial to the communities we represent. Our quest for direct flights to Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu has caught the attention of a handful of US carriers, one of which is still gathering relevant economic data to justify their decision. There is no second-guessing the huge economic impact of an Atlanta-Enugu flight to both communities. With all the infrastructural improvements made possible by the Enugu State Governor, Barrister Sullivan Chime, our job of marketing Enugu to fortune 500 businesses has become a cakewalk. The economy of the 300-mile radius of the Coal City, coupled with Enugu being rated the safest state in Nigeria has made the Eastern Region a very attractive international revenue frontier. Earlier this year, we successfully negotiated hugely discounted tickets for the Nigerian community, which resulted in a sellout of the Georgia Dome during the pre-World Cup friendly match between the Nigerian Super Eagles and the Mexico National team. Enugu Men’s Club of Atlanta is already in the thick of things with the new Major League Soccer franchise in Atlanta. Enugu Men’s Club of Atlanta, with your help, will continue to lend a hand for the good of humanity. Donnie Chukwuemeka Ikpa is also the President of Udi-Ezeagu Atlanta Chapter, the Chairman, National Fundraising Committee for Enugu USA and Udi-Ezeagu USA. 4-EMC 2014
