DISA Musical Sundowner 16 November, 2019

Our 3rd annual Musical Sundowner took place under lucky stars; it did not rain! So we were able to spend the darkening evening in the beautiful pool area of Southern Sun chatting, laughing, enjoying the finger food provided by DISA members and listening to the music.





The evening was a great success! We would like to say a huge thank you to our members for their attendance and assistance in making this event happen again.  And to all guests and family members for joining us!

For creating the enjoyable mood of the evening our thanks go to the Lusaka Brass Group: Mulemwa Tembo, trumpet; Eustace Phiri, trombone and song; Yngve Nordin, trumpet; and Daphine Chibinga, euphonium (replacing Crispin Katembo in this event)

And lastly, our special thanks (again!) to Southern Sun Ridgeway Hotel. We sincerely appreciate their ongoing support.

The Musical Sundowner is the main annual fundraising event of DISA, so all funds raised by it will be used to support our charity projects. We hope to see you there again next year!
