Background:
Creating the Arab Heritage Commission has been an
important goal of AAF. We believe 2008 will be the year to celebrate the results
of our collective efforts.
AAF was the first Arab American organization to
demand the establishment of a state
sanctioned commission. Now that John Corzine has assumed the Governorship of NJ,
AAF is spearheading the campaign to ensure the Governor sanctions
the Commission. We have a tentative set of By-laws and
we have begun a statewide effort to solicit organizational and
individual endorsements.
For over two years, we have been receiving strong media attention
and several towns have actually passed
resolutions in support of our demands.
Sadly, others did not!
We are on the Governor's agenda. The momentum must be
maintained. Please show your support.

Angeles by Joseph R. Haiek, publisher of The News Circle/Arab American magazine
and the Arab-American Almanac series. The AAHF was registered in the State of
California as an unincorporated non-profit organization in March of 2002.
