The Middle Eastern Festival
The Middle Eastern Festival has come and gone and we are all left with grateful
hearts for all the
blessings showered upon us in this event. To quote a recent message by Father Alban:
"I am sure that you all will join me in a huge and heartfelt "terrific
job" to festival
chairman Nabeel Hanna for an outstanding festival. Thank you, Nabeel!
Tremendous thanks also to Mike Teeny who not only managed the silent auction and did
a fantastic job
with the publicity but who also worked closely with Nabeel in overseeing some aspect of
nearly every
department.
And thanks to everyone who gave donations of money, merchandise and (most of all)
time!"
We were also very blessed to have a remarkable performance by Cappella Romana of music from their recent
tour of Greece.
Now we can look forward with great anticipation to next September when we can try to
outdo ourselves in
celebrating our heritage and introducing our neighbors to the Orthodox faith.
