Celebrate Lebanon! on
November 12-14, 2010 explored both
Lebanon's place in the world and the
enormous contributions persons of Lebanese descent have made to our
country. During the
three-day event attendees had the opportunity to hear from, and
interact with, Lebanon's Ambassador Antoine Chedid, US Ambassador
Michele Sisson, Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, Dr. James Zogby
of the Arab American Institute. The program included sections on
the history of the immigrant population in this area, the religions and
the economy of Lebanon, and the legacy of Lebanese immigrants, often
referred to as the Phoenicians.
It was
also a celebration of Americans of Lebanese descent through music and
food.
The Lebanese community in
Peoria
is an outstanding example of the many Lebanese communities through out
the country that have contributed so much to the prosperity and quality
of life of their neighbors.
Special thanks to the St. Sharbel Parish, the Itoo Society, and the
extraordinary efforts of the Lebanon Committee!
