Dear 24 Hour Citizen Community!
First of all, thank you so much for believing and funding the Global Bites vision.
More than ever, I think we need this to celebrate our local international communities, their food and culture.
The event is still scheduled for Tuesday, April 21st evening on Polk Street right by Parc Sans Souci.
Since right after I found out that we won the funding, I have been working on logistics and planning. I have had meetings with Festival International, LPD, Fire department, Coca Cola and DDA among others to keep things moving forward.
I have an amazing small but powerful team (Marissa, Faryal, Moussa, Geoff & Remil) who have been a huge help in advising and guiding me. We have been meeting regularly as well.
I have reached out to some communities and we are already at 9 cuisines! Was hoping for 8-10 and think I will stick with max 10 cuisines to make sure everyone makes money.
I will be ordering the passports (your entry ticket to this event) next week and am starting to order other products (passport stamps, plateware, signage) in the next 2-3 weeks.
Just wanted to give you guys a quick update,
