It’s About Time…<br />
To the Editor,<br />
Bravo, it’s about time, very<br />
exciting, very proud.<br />
I can’t express enough gratitude<br />
and excitement over “our” new<br />
professionally designed publication.<br />
I could not put the newspaper<br />
down. I had to read the whole<br />
thing in one sitting. It was very<br />
easy to read and gave me a strong<br />
sense of attachment - immediately.<br />
I look forward to the infinite possibilities<br />
of where this newspaper<br />
can take our rich and proud heritage.<br />
Especially in this great country<br />
that God has blessed us,<br />
deeply, to be here.<br />

Learning Something New<br />
Dear Friends of the Chaldean<br />
News, I am looking forward to<br />
reading your newspaper. I have<br />
always loved learning about people<br />
and history. I believe that your<br />
newspaper will help bridge a gap<br />
between the knowledge I have<br />
(small as it is) of those great<br />
Chaldean people of old and<br />
today’s courageous people who<br />
have suffered various forms of<br />
oppression throughout the years.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Gloria (Pat) Gordon<br />
What Professionalism<br />
Congratulations on the inaugural<br />
issue of The Chaldean News. The<br />
professionalism conveyed in the<br />
design and lay-out certainly carried<br />
through to the content which I found<br />
timely, pertinent and interesting!<br />
Great work by Vanessa, Angelo<br />
and the rest of the staff getting it all<br />
together. Looking forward to bigger<br />
and better things to follow!<br />
Tremendous job!<br />

Mayor Needs Chaldean Rep<br />
I read in the “Chaldean News” that<br />
the Mayor’s office indicated that<br />
prior to the Mayor’s statements,<br />
there was a miscommunication<br />
between the office and the community<br />
with regard to the press<br />
release. Someone should remind<br />
the Mayor that we urged the Mayor<br />
many, many, many, times to install a<br />
Chaldean as a liaison in the Mayor’s<br />
office. This would have never happened<br />
if a Chaldean was in place<br />
looking after our reasonable interests.<br />
The fact that a non-Chaldean<br />
represents us is the main reason all<br />
of this happened (all due respect to<br />
his appointee-how would he have<br />
known).<br />
The Mayor, unfortunately, is not in<br />
tune to our needs, our problems, our<br />
difficulties or our desires. He probably<br />
believes that all the Chaldeans<br />
want to do is to pillage the City and<br />
to destroy the City’s youth.<br />
Farmer Jack is bailing out, K-Mart<br />
is leaving, and these two entities<br />
received substantial accommodation<br />
to do business in the city and<br />
now they are abandoning it. Who<br />
will be left? The answer is the<br />
Chaldean Community, because<br />
these retailers risk their lives every<br />
single day to earn a living.<br />
When is the Mayor’s office going<br />
to give our community the respect it<br />
deserves? Oh, I forgot, they do that<br />
during election years, because<br />
miraculously at that time our money<br />
does not stink of 40 oz beers, Wild<br />
Irish Rose and Zig Zags.<br />

Bravo!<br />
I am a teacher at West Bloomfield<br />
High School. I am so proud of this<br />
wonderful magazine. I am very cultured<br />
about the Chaldeans and am<br />
committed to maintaining our culture<br />
to the day I die! I am so happy that<br />
we have a magazine to call our own!<br />
“Mabrook” on such an awesome<br />
magazine!<br />
Warmest Regards,<br />
