BAZBINA SOCIETY CLUB – 1918 New Kensington, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
This picture was taken
in 1918, the year the club was founded. The names listed below, in the
first column, were copied from a picture found with Mr. Joud El-Ward in
Bazbina. The names were written at its bottom in Arabic (perhaps, if you
print the picture, the Arabic writing will be legible). The names listed
in the second column were written in English on a similar picture found
with Mr. Ray Bitar in New Kensington. Comparing the names, one could
tell how the transformation of names happened. The club still meets at
the hall of St. Georges Church in New Kensington, PA.
