The Canadian Friends of Soviet People, with headquarters in Toronto, not only plans and carries out activities in Toronto, such as meetings, lectures, Soviet film showings, celebrating important dates in Soviet history – it carries a burden that makes the Friendship Society a viable and influential entity.
Let’s just take a few examples that the readers of NSC and friends reading NSC should know.
* These are the comrades that work voluntarily in order to keep Northstar Compass being published regularly – even though the biggest load in this is carried by Michael Lucas, its Editor and Helen Lucas, its Financial Secretary. These comrades plan the events that raises finances for NSC, that helps to pay the expenses of running the organization from day to day.
* These are the comrades (although there are 4 members not in this photo) who help organize the International Council for Friendship and Solidarity with Soviet People Congresses at the Friendship House in Toronto.
* These are the comrades who help in the mailing of NSC and who spread NSC copies into other venues, get new subscribers and help to promote NSC.
* These are the comrades who not only look after the Canadian organization and mailing of NSC and other information, but, thee are the people who are very informed about the work of the Executive Committee of the International Council and help with ideas and also help to solve some problems that crop up in the International Council work.
* These comrades help in cooperation with our supporting organization, the Society of Carpatho-Russian Canadians.
We wish this new 2009 Executive success during these
trying times and also great success in helping to plan the very
important Third World Congress in 2010!
