The Australian Maronite Community Network (AMCN)التجمع الماروني الاسترالي held its Annual General Meeting on Monday evening, 8 April 2024…..
The meeting was an opportunity to present and discuss matters relevant to our Australian Maronite Community……
As AMCN enters its 9th year since it was formally registered with Fair Trading NSW, it was appropriate to review and evaluate the excellent performance and the good achievements of this proactive Community Organisation in undertaking activities ranging from bringing people together to providing financial assistance both in Australia and Lebanon.
This small and relatively young organisation, the AMCN التجمع الماروني الاسترالي, which is described as a relatively quiet achiever, has managed, in a span of few years, to aid a variety of needy people and institutions as follows:
