Silver Spring, Maryland (June 30, 2009) – Volta Club, Inc, a Washington, DC metro area non-for-profit organization which draws it members mostly from Volta Region, Ghana, Togo and Benin celebrates its 25th anniversary and fundraising/kente festival on Saturday, July 11, 2009 from 6pm – 12 midnight at the Fellowship Hall of Colesville Presbyterian Church, 12800 New Hampshire Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland 20904.

The theme for the celebration is “A Sense of Identity and Our Heritage: Using our collective talents and skills to enlighten and uplift our community.” The Club plans to use the proceeds from the fundraising to open a resource center in order to support its membership and the community at large as well as students for their studies, homework assistance, computer literacy and workshop/seminars that focus on urgent issues in its community. Also the Center would design programs for summer youth camps plus a database on the history and culture of the Ewes from West Africa.
