| Who is behind this work |
 This newsletter and the web site are organized by
the Mashghara Benevolent Society in Ottawa Canada. The society members are
originally from Mashghara Lebanon. The purpose of the society is to keep
Mashgharians close to each other, and to meet and exchange ideas and
opinions other than political or religious. Also to be a central point to
provide assistance in case of hardship and general adverse circumstances
|
| Feedback and Help |
 Any help or feedback is always appreciated. Suggestions, and
ideas for the Mashghara web site will be considered and implemented when
time allows. |
| Directory |
| So far the
directory is receiving most of the web hits. The
directory allows people to stay in touch with each others. This is the proper place to keep your
coordinates
so friends from all over the world can reach you. Please
verify your information
and send us any additions or corrections. Do not forget to forward this
email to others to do the same. This list will also be published in a booklet by the end of March

| History |
| I could not find anything about Mashghara in the Encyclopedia Britannica. I
think we are not giving Mashghara what it deserves. The only
thing I could find, is what was left by Father Abi Hana. I have published the
first article and its translation to English is underway. The second article
will be published in the future. Translation to French of these articles and
any other history about Mashghara will also be appreciated. Anyone has a map
for Mashghara? please send it to us.
