EAS February Meeting

The EAS Board would like to thank all who came with the positive feedback on our last meeting. The meeting was a success by the sincere efforts and dedications of Board members and volunteers.

The meeting was attended by more than 70 members and friends of EAS, as well as about 10 children. The main item on the meeting agenda was the speech and discussion lead by


His Excellency Ambassador Elhusseini Abdelwahab

The talk by Ambassador Abdelwahab was indeed informative and hit a number of hot current topics, including impact of global economic recession on Egypt and the supporting role of Egypt in recent events in Gaza. In their special room, the children also had their share of fun with the clown, balloon animals and the pizza. The meeting was concluded with a lively "Name that Tune" game lead by the new stars of EAS

Dina El-Deeb & Mona Ghazi.

Winners of the "Name that Tune" were

Ghada Ahmed , Nabila Eid,
Abla Barakat , Samy Rezk,
Yusra Abou-Sayed , Nahed Strawes,
Nour Hyder , Rasha Heggazy,
Mohamed Elkady & Noha Elgohary

The EAS Board would like to thank all volunteers who participated in making this event the great success it was; in particular, we thank

Marwa Soliman , Mona Elkhelali & Dalia Diab

Who did a fantastic job sitting with the children and provided them with the wonderful time they had. A special thank goes also to

Adel El-Deeb

For his IT support during the "Name that Tune" session.

This meeting had the special flavor and fingerprint of the Egyptian American youth that Dina and Adel brought in. The EAS hope this would continue and progress to a more lively and dynamic EAS energized and lead by the new generations of Egyptian Americans in Houston.
