"You CAN Take it with You!" *
October 1, 2002

If you are returning to Accra (approximately a 5-hour
drive), why not take Four Villages Inn brand sausages, weiners or frankfurters
along with you? |
|
| We'll wrap them up with ice
so they will stay frozen for the trip. |

Four Villages Inn Donates Prize *
August 3, 2002
Four Villages Inn is proud to announce that we have donated
a prize of one night's free stay along with a pack each of beef and pork
breakfast sausages, wieners and frankfurters to take away to the DAMSEL
WOMEN'S GROUP of Tarkwa Goldfields. The raffle is to raise money to construct
a new
children's ward at the Tarkwa Government
Hospital. Charity and I have a special feeling for this cause since we
lived in Tarkwa in the Western Region in the early 70's when we were teachers
at Tarkwa
Secondary School. |

Greener Pastures for Bongo *
July 28, 2002
|
Longtime resident of the Four Villages Inn - Bongo -
has gone on to greener pastures ... no he hasn't died ... the Wildlife
Service accepted our request to take him so that he can be reintroduced
into the wild. He is to remain in quarantine for a couple of weeks and
then will be taken to Bia National Park in the Western Region, where there
is a monkey reserve. Bongo's longtime companion, Beauty - the baby spot-nosed
monkey - tried to move into the big cage vacated by Bongo, but it didn't
quite work because she could slip through the mesh ... not a good idea
with our two dogs, Mandela and Buddy in the wings! So it was back to the
little cage surrounded by chicken wire. Like Beauty, both Charity
and I sadly miss Bongo's shenanigans. |

|
|
| Four Villages Inn wishes to
congratulate the Asantehene Osei Tutu II on his recent marriage to Julia
Ananeng. |
|
| Pictured here are Charity,
daughter Christy and Julia at a Four Villages Inn housewarming party held
in 1997. |
|
| Christy and Julia both Attended
Queen's University at Kingston, Canada in the Faculty of Law. |
|
 |
 |
A “Royal Marriage” of the
Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, took place on April 6 in Accra. The ceremony
was performed the customary way. The lucky lady, Julia, is a lawyer by
profession and a banker, now with ECOBANK. Julia, in her 30s, is an ex-student
of the Wesley Girls High School, Cape Coast. She was called to the Bar
in 1994, after obtaining her first degree from the University of Ghana,
Legon, and completing her professional course at the Ghana Law School in
Accra. Dubbed a special “kente wedding”, Julia, was full of smiles, as
she hooked the most eligible bachelor of our time - to the surprise of
close associates, who saw very little of the courtship. |
