On Sunday, February 10, 2008, the LFSANA NE Pennsylvania chapter gathered in Easton, PA at Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Catholic Church to celebrate a mass in the memory of all Lebanese Martyrs. Afterwards, we hosted a brunch in the social hall, where information about what we want to grow in this area was distributed. The gentlemen who made their way to Easton gathered at Queens Deli in Fogelsville, PA and discussed where we are and where we want to go with the organization in the area. Necessary steps were planned to allow for us to grow in Easton, including establishment of monthly meeting. On behalf of the LFSANA NE Pennsylvania Chapter, I’d like to thank all those that made it possible to make it to the mass and activities that followed especially Elie (NJ Chapter President), Mike , Fadi (NY Chapter) and his parents, Simon, Edgar, Wissam (President of LFSANA), and Rani (VP of LFSANA). We’d like to also thank Abouna Kamil Al-Chouifati for a beautiful mass. May God bless the members of the LFSANA who work hard to help this organization strive and move forward. Finally, this was a very successful 1^st event and meeting for both LFSANA and the Lebanese Forces Chapter NE PA , and a great opportunity to meet and coordinate with members of other area Chapters. Our focus now is to grow both NE PA Chapters, spread the Lebanese Forces values, and play a positive role in our communities keeping focused on the Lebanese Forces ultimate goals and strive to achieve them.

On Jan 26, 2008 the Toronto Lebanese Forces Student Association held its first general meeting. All who attended were extremely excited to get started on organizing events that centered on many different issues. Everyone’s main goals were for the group to become a better network for new LF students arriving in Toronto, working with the media to further our cause, and planning many other events for the future. The students were joined by the Toronto Chapter president, Philippe Sader, who reminded the students why they were gathered and what they are working for. Many students became involved in his speech and questions and debate took centre stage.

During the meeting, it was determined that in order to keep focused especially in Lebanon’s current time of need, we must remember what the cause means to us and those who died fighting for it. A quick vote was taken and a secretary was chosen and was approved by the Toronto Lebanese Forces Student Association president. Our next meeting is planned to take place mid-February, followed by regular monthly meetings. Overall, it was a successful first meeting, as everyone got to know each other, and were determined to make this meeting a stepping stone to a very fruitful future.
