Dear Friends of the House of Lebanon,

It's time to shine your dancing shoes and join us for this year's Pride of Heritage Banquet and House of Lebanon Celebration at the Beverly Hills Hotel on November 11th. This year we will be recognizing three important groups of people -- the current Board of Directors, the past Board of Director members, and the most important group of all -- the people who made donations to the House of Lebanon, large and small over the past 12 years. Without them, this dream would not have been a reality.

If you have any questions or comments please email us at editor@houseoflebanon.com.

Best Wishes from Our House to Yours,

Karen Srour

Executive Director

A Message from
Honorable James Kaddo
Chairman of the Board

Dear Friends,

It is more important than ever to have your support. We need your participation at this year's Pride of Heritage Banquet. We accomplished what you wanted us too, now we need you to celebrate with us!

Judge James Kaddo

A Message from
Mohamed "Mike" Ahmar
President

Dear Friends,

This year our Pride of Heritage Banquet will celebrate our great achievement, the purchase of our new and permanent location for the House of Celebration. This event has always been our largest fundraiser and this year we hope to have all our supporters who have helped us achieve our goal to attend. We encourage you to attend this year's banquet. We promise you an evening of fun, friends, dancing and great food.

Featuring the Lebanese Movie

Yamo

by Rami Nihawi
Documentary | Lebanon | 2011 | 70 min.

Yamo

Movie Trailer: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150410748176786
AFF Website: http://arabfilmfestival.org/film_detail.php?id=1260

The complexities of personal memory, silence and Lebanon are drawn out by way of Rami Nihawi's affecting film, Yamo. Situated beside recollections of the filmmaker's mother, Nawal, the boundaries between personal history and national history become increasingly blurred as questions of family memory and 'what happened' post-1975 are explored. At times a participatory documentary donned with voice-over and interviews, at others, an experimental non-linear venture into a dream-like account of Nihawi's (and Lebanon's) past, Yamo captures what it means to remember, to recollect - and the process of forgetting that cannot be divorced from the remembered event.
