Dear friends:
As you may be aware the Fogolâr Furlan of Windsor is finalizing arrangements for the Fogolârs Congress which will be taking place in Windsor from September 3-6, 2010.
The Organizing Committee has prepared information packages for this Congress which will distributed shortly. For the Fogolârs/Famčis that have sent us mailing lists, the information will be sent directly to their members. Additional packages will also be made available. If your Fogolâr was not able to send mailing lists, you will be receiving the packages with the request to make them available to your membership as soon as possible. All information regarding times/themes of the workshops are subject to change and/or confirmation. Posters will be sent out separately.
The Congresses are a vital part of the Federation’s mandate. They offer a unique opportunity to Furlans of North America to meet, exchange ideas and seize the opportunity to reflect upon the issues that are of importance to our members and our organizations. These Congresses cannot be organized by a single Fogolâr since a vast network of committed groups is needed to coordinate such a project. Only a National Association like the Federation can achieve this. The significance and scope of the work of the Federation may not always be visible to the individual members of the Fogolârs. However, the Federation has been instrumental in initiating and organizing projects that are of interest to all Furlan-Canadians.
For example:
- The distribution of scholarship funds.
- Coordination of the Campo Giochi
- Coordination of the Mostra del libro, and the Radici del futuro.
- Establishment of the literary prize "Bepo Franzel" and "Premio Aquileia"
- Assistance and support to the Youth Federation.
- Furlan Cinema Library.
- *Teaching of Furlan Language
- La Cisilute
These are but some of the projects being coordinated by the Fogolâr Federation of Canada. We are pleased to present you FOGOLÂRS 2010.
Ivano Cargnello,
President, Fogolârs Federation of Canada
