The Lebanese Forces Students Association of North America

   The Lebanese Forces-Michigan Chapter, has always been known for its successful and continuous activities and effort  throughout many years in the U.S. And on Thursday, December 6, 2007, the Students division held its first official meeting. Many students from different universities and colleges showed up.

     Various topics and issues were discussed in this meeting. Since it was the first meeting,  a great part was dedicated to the LFSANA . Another part discussed the LF-MI chapter and its accomplishments throughout the years.  Then, students were given the chance to introduce themselves and share why they were pro-LF. It was interesting to see the many reasons that influenced students to become LFers.

   Many more topics were discussed in the meeting, and everyone showed great enthusiasm and professionalism.

   We will always be keeping you updated with any events in Michigan. Wishing all the rifa2 in North America great success.

On Sunday December 25th the Lebanese Kataeb new england chapter, in association with the Lebanese Forces Boston and Methuen Chapters, held a memorial mass for the fallen Lebanese hero Sheikh Pierre Gemayel at our Lady of the Cedars Church in Boston. The Liturgy was followed by a community gathering at the church hall at which time a DVD commemorating the sacrifices of the Kataeb and sheikh Pierre was shown. Present at the lituragy and community gathering was the Leader of the National Liberal Party (NLP) Mr. Dory Chammoun. Mr Chammoun spoke of sheikh Pierre’s great character, and all his sacrifices for a free independent Lebanon. The ultimate sacrifice was giving himself for the great nation he loved, and soaking its sacred earth with his pure blood. Mr. Chammoun also emphasized the need for a presidential election in Lebanon, as well as the need to disarm all militias so that a strong government can reign over every inch of Lebanese soil.

The LFSNA made its presence notable by having students from various universities attend the mass, and the community gathering afterwards. It was truly an incredible event, that brought the Lebanese community closer together.

In hopes of only meeting in joyous occasions.
