Call for Nominations for Board

Dear friends of the Egyptian American Society,

As we draw to the end of the year, I wanted to reflect with everyone for a moment on what it means to have an Egyptian American Society. Many of us have known eachother for many years, and our first encounters have been in events that have been hosted by our organization. We live in a city that is very diverse, but within this diversity is a large number of us who trace our heritage as Egyptians. It is so important that as a group, we exemplify what it means to be Egyptian Americans. From the music we listen to, the food we eat, the jokes we make, the company we keep...it all is about us being Egyptians, and that must continue on.

We are at a time when we are going to ask everyone to nominate individuals to be on the board. It's important for us to have a board that continues the mission of the Egyptian American Society. We are seeking individuals who will devote some time to continue on the tradition of growing our great organization. Please direct your nominations to Ayman at aeltaher@hotmail.com and keep in mind we are not asking for nominations for specific positions on the board...just board members, which will number five in total.

We continue to ask all of you to participate as much as you can, as in the end of the day, this organization is about you and what you make of it.

Thank you in advance,

Sherif Zaafran, MD
President, Egyptian American Society

Next Meetin: The Nostalgia Night

EAS Members and Friends,

Our next meeting will be sometime late November. Exact time and place will be announced soon, as we are currently discussing the options.

The theme of the meeting will be "Nostalgia Night," and it will need for everybody to bring a picture (and only one picture, please) from your old albums to talk about for a few minutes. The picture should be about the good old days in Egypt. So, be ready with your happy memories and for the great fun in the "Nostalgia Night."

Stay tuned ...
