EDITOR’S NOTE
Let me start by thanking all our loyal
donors, who despite the financial crunch
that we are all experiencing, still faith-
fully sent in their donations. It is these
contributions that are keeping many of
our deserving yet needy students at IC.
Our annual fund remains open and we
welcome all the help that we can get to secure a strong education for
our diverse body of students.
IC needs the help of all alumni. In these days, every dollar counts.
Moreover, we have started to seek pledges for our new elementary
school which will be built on campus.
The Board of Trustees has not been idly watching. They have been
hard at work commissioning architects and studying various designs.
The result is exciting: a brand new modern custom-made building up
to the best of American standards. The best part is that we can finally
bring our elementary students on campus with the rest of the school.
This new building, with it technology and environmentally friendly
design, will set the standards for schools in the country. Its gymnasium
and courts will be accessible to all students.
We strongly believe that an investment in education will help IC
produce caring, ethical and independent leaders that the country so
desperately needs.
Best wishes,
Moufid Beydoun ‘64
