To all people of Mashghara

It is this time of year again for the renewal of the Mashghara Benevolent Society board of directors. For this:

1-      We invite you to submit the names of the suggested elected board members after discussing it with them and obtaining their acceptance.  We are of dire need for those under 25 years of age.

2-      The renewal of the family membership by sending $60 in the attached stamped envelope.

The upcoming year is going to be a very busy year in order to develop the Mashghara center which we already put its work guidelines. We need not only board of directors members, but also members of committees to overlook the development of this project which is going to be a pride moment not only for the Mashgharians, but also for the whole Lebanese and Arabic community.

Other projects are also on the worksheet for the next board of directors:

1-      Sports club for the youth.

2-      Community Cemetery project.

We also request your suggestions for new projects, which we will be glad to put on the agenda of the next board of directors. These suggestions can be included in the attached membership renewal envelop.

Our success would not happen without your cooperation and participation.

Sincerely yours,

The president

Michel Ghantous
