• After a survey of opinions on the possibility of having a meeting in Ramadan, it was quite clear that most members are quite busy and have other plans for the days, especially the weekends, of Ramadan. According, it was decided that there will NOT be a meeting for the Society this Ramadan.

• Planning ahead for next month, we will meet on Saturday, October 20th, to celebrate the Eid together. Details will be announced soon. Please reserve that day for the meeting.
  
  
• Dr. Ezzat is having a hip replacement operation on Friday Sept. 14th. We all wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back soon. Dr. Ezzat expressed his wish that, if any one would like to send him flowers or a gift, he/she, instead, donate the amount to the Society's Emergency Fund. The fund was established recently to cover emerging events that may overwhelm fellow egyptians in Houston. (For donations, please send check to the Society address in the right-side bar.)

Egypt is known for its pyramids, ancient ruins and other glories from it’s pharonic past. Most people are unaware of Egypt’s rich Christian heritage. The Coptic Egyptians and their history are often overlooked in the tourism guides. This vital part of Egyptian tradition and religious sites represent the world’s first Christians with their customs and rituals preserved as a fascinating window to those early days.

Join us for a journey to that era through a lecture by Egypt’s foremost authority on Coptic heritage.

Dr. Shaza Gamal Ismail is in the US on a Fulbright Scholarship at Temple University in Philadelphia. She is a professor at the Faculty of Arts at Ain Shams University in Cairo and is an active member of the International Association of Coptic Studies (IACS) and the Association of the Preservation of Egyptian Cultural Heritage. She’s a regular lecturer at Egypt’s prestigious Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management and is member of the American Research Center in Egypt.
