CLUB-1951 Builder PHONE 2-0208 Res. 112Chichester Orlando, Florida HISTORICAL DATA OF PAST EVENTS IN THE PROGRESS OF 'THE SYRIAN-AMERICAN CLUB It was because of the principle of unity for a better and more progressive Syrian and, later, Lebanese community, which bore deeply into the minds of the fathers of our Organization which led to the present assets which we now possess. But first of all, it is necessary to go back a few years to that first meeting which was held on January 11, 1939 when Mr. George Deeb, late and beloved Syrian pioneer of Orlando, was elected temporary President, that the f oundation for the present organization was formed. Out of this meeting, which, in reality was merely a small gathering, plans were put in motion for the first official meeting of V\Thatwas known as the Syrian-American Club, held on January 18, 1939 and presided over by a newlyelected Chairman, Mr. lY.Iaurice Tamney. After By-Laws were written and plans for club activity were formed, the Organization was officially chartered and recorded on the 31st day of March, 1939. The charter members were: Thomas Hage J. T. Hage, Jr. G. B. Deeb Sam Fekany lY.IichaelTamney Allen Hage George Fekany George Zookey Charles Gazil J\Jexander Tamney Allen Fekany Richard Kaba Charles Azar Paul Deeb Ellis Kaba Eddie Tamney Joe Hage Fred Hage Mike Hage First officers to direct the affairs until complete organization were: G. B. Deeb, President; Thomas Hage, Vice-President; Sam Fekany, Treasurer; John Hage, Recording Secretary; Directors: George Fekany, Allen Hage and George Zookey. In 1939-1940 Mr. George Deeb served as President and was in, reality the first official president. Succeeding to the presidency was Mr. Thomas Hage ,vho headed the .club for six years. Eddie Tamney was elected president after the expiration of this term but due to his removing· of residence from the city he was, before completion of his term of office, succeeded to that office by John Hage, who has held it continuously to the present time. Merging of the Women's Auxiliary Club into the organization took place in 1943. Feeling that some initiative should be taken to further the advance of progress of their community, the hopes and ambitions of the members were now being directed towards owning a Club House. Action for this purpose was taken on January 5th, 1941 when the grounds for the present structure were purchased. This dream was realized with completion of the building in April of 1948, at which time a gala celebration was held and attended by many city and state officials including our own Mayor William Beardall. Ta:night on; the occasion of our T,velfth Anniversary as an Organization we are celebrating the complete fulfillment of this dream-the satisfaction and full payment of our mortgage on our building. 17 �SYRIAN-AMERICAN CLUB-1951 ORLANDO NCiSENTINEL ORLAND STAR RADI ION CONSTRUCTIVE FORCES FOR A BIGGER AND BETTER TOWN FOR ALL OUR PEOPLE 18 �SYRIAN-AMERI,CANCLUB-1951 American Rug & Linoleum Co.
