President’s Letter
Dear Members and Supporters,
I, Guilda Asmar, proudly serve as the President of the WLCU Greater Los Angeles Chapter. As we embark on another year of promoting Lebanese culture, I want to share some of our remarkable initiatives.
Founded in 1960, the WLCU is an independent International Non-governmental Organization dedicated to showcasing Lebanese heritage worldwide. With over 200 chapters globally, we connect Lebanese individuals from all walks of life.
Our flagship program, LEBolution, brings together 200 young men and women to foster their Lebanese identity and build lasting bonds. Additionally, our ESSAY program provides scholarships to students of different backgrounds and ages.
Through events and gatherings, we raise funds and support various causes. At our recent event, we donated to Evolve, empowering women through education in Lebanon.
I’m excited to announce our upcoming Gala, the Courage Award, honoring Dr. Philip Salem, an international statesman in cancer medicine. We aim to raise funds to support cancer patients in Lebanon.
To achieve our goal, we seek sponsors for our Gala, offering recognition at the event and on our website. By joining forces, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of cancer patients.
Thank you for your unwavering support and commitment. Your involvement is crucial in uplifting our community and preserving our heritage.
Join us on this journey to support cancer patients in Lebanon. Together, we can offer hope, strength, and financial relief to those facing the challenges of cancer.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Guilda Asmar
President, WLCU Greater Los Angeles Chapter
