Gigi Sakir to speak on Egypt...this Friday, Feb 18th, during lunch waves

Gigi Sakir and her daughter, Giselle Begler, will speak to us about Egypt.  When Gigi was a little girl her family had to flee Egypt leaving everything behind. Giselle graduated from Staples in 2004.  Their family regularly travels back to Egypt.  They will have pictures to share, go over a bit of history, and put in their own words about why the situation in Egypt has come to what it is.  Gigi is prepared for your questions and will do her best to answer them.  According to Mrs. Ritter, our LLC Volunteer who set up this program, Gigi was practically dancing in the streets here in Westport when there was word that Mubarak was stepping down.

Come to hear about history in the making. Has Egypt started a domino effect in the region?
