Paris on Sept 22, 08 Dear WLCU officers, Dear WLCU members and friends,
In the beginning of the last quarter of 2008, I would like to prepare with you the program of the coming months. Please find below some of the most important subjects to deal with very soon, with a deadline to reply before October 10th 08. Other points will be sent soon in seperate emails such as the next world council and the visit of the World President Mr Elie Hakme to Australia.
1- Following the resolutions of Las Vegas World Council on April 19th 08 and the resolutions of the World Council that took place in Lebanon on July 24th, you are invited to launch the operation of collecting the 300 thousands dollars that are necessary to realize some projects discussed in both of the world councils, such as learning lebanese and arabic online, or another very important new project that will be discussed in the next meeting. I remind you that it was decided to find about 60 donators in each of the world Regions (North America, Latin America, Brazil, Australia, Africa and Europe) capable to donate about at least 1000 US$ per year. These donators will be considered the sponsors of the projects that the WLCU is working on. Each chapter or National council will find the best way to thank these donators. A special section will be created on our website to publish the names of the donators and the amounts of their donation in case they agree of course.
Mr Antoine Menassa, the Chairman of the World Financial Committee, will coordinate this operation with the presidents of the Regional councils.
2- The Secretary General needs urgently, for a very important publication, that all the Chapters, National Councils, State Councils and Regional Councils provide him with Reports and photos about all what they realised from Mexico World Congress in 2001 until now. Please give this querry your full attention and reply before October 10th, 08.
3- You are invited to put a schedule for your 3 months coming activities and inform us about it before October 10th as well.

5- Following the Bylaws, are allowed to vote in the 2009 world congress, the chapters that were registered with the World Secretary General before December 31st 08 and that they paid their dues of 2007 and 2008 before February 28th 09. That’s why I invite all the Regional Secretaries General to send to me as soon as possible all the applications of the new chapters and I ask all the Regional treasurers to send to the World treasurer the chapters dues of 2007 and 2008 without any delay please.
6- Please find below the letter that the World president Mr Elie Hakme sent to MP Robert Ghanem proposing the help of all the WLCU chapters to the Lebanese embassies and consulates to realise the dream of the Lebanese abroad and the WLCU to allow the Lebanese abroad to vote from outside Lebanon.
