Re:
Happy and prosperous New Year.
Dear
Brothers and Sisters, Happy New Year 2005.
As this is
my first correspondence to all of you, I would like to take this
opportunity to express my warm wishes for Health and Prosperity for the
new Year, and at the same time to express my deep sadness for the
incredible devastation in Southeast Asia, and ask all our members to run
the story and encourage his/her community to participate in the healing
process of this tragedy with 150.000 dead humans and some millions
dislocated after loosing their households.
Since the
day of the developments I have worked very hard to every direction, from
Ottawa to Washington, and from Ontario to BC, in order to make sure that
our voice is heard by the centers of power for help to our suffering
brothers and sisters.
As you are
away, our next meeting is scheduled for the Monday, January 10th,
2005.
Due to the
critical situation, it is my humble opinion that the presence of all our
members is very important and critical. Please make sure you are going to
be there: Committee Room # 2, Main Legislative Building, Queen’s Park,
Toronto Ont.
Please ender
the building from the east side door, (the one looking at the bay avenue),
report to security officer your name and the reason of your visit,
(attendance of the meeting of NEPMCC), take your I.D. and come to the
meeting.
We start as
always at 6:00 PM, please make sure you are there on time, as too many
things are on the agenda for discussion.
Soon, later,
I would forward to you our agenda as well as the minutes from the previous
meeting.
For one more
time please accept my deepest sympathy for the victims of this tragedy
which devastated the area of your homelands and lets work to together to
help as much as we can.
Best wishes
and Regards,
Thomas S.
Saras
President,
NEPMCC
