Marasi’s Birthday Dinner
Posted: Aug 17th, 2006 at 7:19 am by chilumba
Babe’s Marasi’s birthday is today – youngster is getting older.
We celebrated with him a few days earlier while we were in DC. (Birthday pictures are posted here)

Last weekend, an amazing suprise birthday get together for Marasi was coordinated – We got him so good (Dude was clueless). Kudos to Rahab for planning this and getting people to show up at the event.
The plan (2006):
- Get Marasi’s friends contacts (UNCA buddies, Zambia buttas, Virginia Tech matties, Youngstar’s big brother, and DC counterparts)
- Arrange a restaurant that takes a large crowd, and serves good food
- Send an ‘undercover agent’ to convice Marasi to eat at a restaurant with Belly Dancers
- Get on the phone and pretend that the restaurant kitchen closes at a certain time (when Marasi is delaying or behind schedule)
- Shower in record time
- Throw all these scenarios into a mixing bowl
- SUPRISE!!!!
Happy birthday Mr. Mwencha …
This is a little random, but I found this site while tracking down old friends from UNCA. Marasi and I were friends in college and I would love to say ‘hi’ to him, but I no longer have his email. Could you please pass along my email? My name now is Rachel Showman, but he knows me as Rae Stephens. I appreciate any help!
Thanks, Rae
