                                 To ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE NEPMCC

Dear friends and colleagues, brothers and sisters in the ethnic press and media:

We are there. Just a day before the seminar and I want to thank you all for the support and cooperation the project received from all of you.

150 members from all over the Country are coming to Seneca College, Markham Campus, in order to participate in the first educational project for the members of the sector. A galaxy of great political personalities will be with us and many speakers like Justin Trudeau, Bob Ray, Gerry Philipps, Tim Hudak, and the Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper will be with us. For the Gala Dinner on Saturday November 21, will be attendant by the PM and a number of Cabinet Ministers  as is Jason Kenney and Peter Kent along with some MP’s of the GTA.

The Prime Minister as per your decision will be declared “Honourary Chair” of our organization for his efforts to help the various ethnic communities. He also is to present a number of certificates of achievement to attendees of the seminar and twelve Awards to our members from outside Ontario. This is going to be a great night with plenty of food and drinks, we all will enjoy. To this extend I want to inform you all that there are few seats available for the Gala dinner and therefore if anybody wants to join us he can do this by emailing to asha.rajak@gmail.com.

For the working media there is space, they only have to inform Asha of their intentions to attend, we will supply them with Media ID for the event.

Thank you again and I am looking forward to welcome you all,

Thomas S. Saras

President and CEO
