1 -- First of all, I want to wish all the dads
a very HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
I hope you're getting to enjoy a blessed day with your families!
I also want to take a moment to remember my father, Fouad Anis, who reposed in the Lord almost 24 years ago.
As many of you know, my father was the inspiration behind the formation of the Coptic Chamber.
He spent countless hours advising business owners, helping them, connecting them with one another and being a tireless cheerleader for them.
He was a Coptic Chamber Commerce before there was one -- a great husband and father, brilliant businessman, man of God and man of principle.
Never forgotten.
2 -- Second, I sent this email on Friday, but apparently, it only went to a small segment of the list. So I am resending. Forgive me if you were one of the people who already saw this:
I spoke to one of our Gold Coptic Chamber members today.
It wasn't a long conversation, but she was profusely thanking me for Chamber related stuff, my
dedication, etc.
It was very nice of her.
But I felt compelled to turn it around and thank HER. She was the real hero and star of the Coptic Chamber.
And, by extension, so are you.
I say this to YOU:
All who have helped us, supported us, sponsored us, joined us, shared our messages and posts with others, responded to our requests for referrals... and generally cared about our growth... are the REAL SHINING STARS.
None of this -- the Chamber being THE standard, biggest name in Coptic business -- could have been possible without you.
I
appreciate you so much.
Thank you for EVERYTHING, from the bottom of my heart.
Until next time...
And always remember to K.I.C. -- Keep It Coptic!
