On Late Ambassador Fuad Sharif

We have received this comment from George Louca, on the sad passing away of Ambassador Fuad Sharif:

For those of you who have not been in Houston for a long time, Ambassador Fuad Sharif was the Consulate General in Houston. He was very involved in the EAS activities and participated in most of its functions. As a president of the Society at that time, I felt first hand his support to the EAS goals and his commitment to all the Egyptians in Houston. I share Dr. Abouleish in extending our condolences to his wife Mrs. Gihan and the members of his family. May God bless his soul and reward him for his good deeds.

Next EAS Meeting

Dear EAS Members,

Due to the latest change in the Society's secretarial position, and due to the recent overlapping absence of both the Society's President and Vice President, the Board of the Society have voted for combining the Society's meetings of January and February in one function that is planned (tentatively) on February 2^nd.

Please check soon for updates on the exact time and location of the function, as well as for details on the function features.

EAS in Facebook

Dear EAS Member,

We came to know that EAS members in the social network Facebook are in the tens. We think this indeed can be an additional means of socializing and communication between members of the Society. It definitely is an excellent way of knowing a bit more about each other, through information and pictures posted about oneself and family, as well as through virtual and real friendship forms offered in the network.

With the kind help of Mona Elshahawi, EAS has now a "Group" in Facebook, where EAS members in Facebook can join. By doing so, we get to know other EAS members in Facebook, be virtual or real friends with them and can discuss issues of mutual interest. If you are interested in such forms of communication, we invite you to join Facebook and the "EAS Group," as a lively way of socializing and friendship in the Society.

Just like any social experience, be it in real life or in cyber space, EAS Board advises discretion in how you approach others and what kind of personal info rmation you should be giving away in the internet.
