The 15th Youth Convention in Argentina – 12 October 2007

Subject:The 15th Youth Convention

The 15th WLCU Youth Annual Convention will take place in the City of San Miguel de Tucumán, the days 13, 14 and 15 of  October 2007.

I join my voice to the President of the WLCU World Youth Council, Mr Juan Saliba’s, and call for all the WLCU Regions to participate to this very important meeting and to join the South America’s usual attendants.

I attended the convention of 2005 and can testify of the level of this meeting and of the experience that the WLCU Youth officers of all around the world can get during it in exchanging information and methods to let the young lebanese of the diaspora and the Lebanese descendant youth keep attached to the Lebanese Heritage, Culture and language.

For more details please contact Ms.Celeste Gentile, CN JUCAL Secretary cnjucal@hotmail.com or youth@wlcu.com

Please find below the text of the Invitation as well as the schedule of the Convention.

Dearests,

 

JUCAL (Youth of the Argentinean Lebanese Cultural Union) that belongs to the WLCU (World Lebanese Cultural Unión) has the pleasure to invite you to participate on it´s XV Annual Convention, to take place in the City of San Miguel de Tucumán, the days 13, 14 and 15 of  October 2007.

 

As President of the WLCU Youth Council, the main goal is to unite to the young people of Lebanese descendant through our institution, fortifying our bows and creating different projects that allow us to spread the Lebanese cultural patrimony and  to defend the sovereignty, independence and freedom of Lebanon.

 

Synthetically, we want to create a group that works at same way and with the same objectives of the WLCU, in parallel and at the same time they do.

 

Year after year, we’ve been successfully making our Annual Convention in Argentina.

We always count with the presence of more than a hundred of young people from all the country, as also people from other countries as Mexico, Uruguay and Chile.

This year we expect to count with Brazil and Venezuela, and other countries too.

But we do not want to stay there, and we want to add more representations.

To be able to make a world-wide convention of Lebanese youth.

I feel the obligation, as WLCU Youth Council’s President, to take ahead this project.

 

We know that traveling is something expensive and most of young people are not able to afford it

That´s why I ask specially  to all the members of  each Region, country, state or chapter, to make a joint efford so at least one person of his locality can assist to the convention, helping him in an economical way and impelling him to participate.

If today we start with one person, next time they will be two , and so on.

Let´s not forget that this is the same youth that tomorrow will be at the top of the WLCU, fighting for the Lebanese interests.!!!

 

In Argentina you will be more than well received, you will feel all along accompanied, and will be taken care in the best possible way

I can make you sure that this will be an unforgettable experience that will stronglly motivate you to keep on growing and working for the WLCU and the Lebanese Cause.

 

For more information about de Convention or to receive your accreditations forms, please contact Ms.Celeste Gentile, CN JUCAL Secretary cnjucal@hotmail.com or youth@wlcu.com

 

We will be waiting for you with our open arms,

My best regards,

 

Mr. Juan Saliba
