FIRST MEETING FOR ORTHODOX STUDENTS

Cleveland, OH - The greater Cleveland Orthodox Christian Fellowship is underway. Milan and Mira Damljanovic are the program coordinators for 4 universities in Cleveland: Cleveland State University, Case Western Reserve University, John Carroll and Baldwin Wallace.

Our first meeting featured guest speaker Fr. Peter Gillquist of Califonia. There were over 40 people in attendance. There was a great mix of Orthodox students; Antiochian, Greek, Lebanese, Serbian, Russian and others. This is a great way for our Orthodox college students to meet each other and network. The local OCF board includes our own Mayor Georgine Welo and Mr. Alex Machaskee. There are many local supporters from various Orthodox parishes, there are 26 Orthodox churches in greater Cleveland.

If you know of any Orthodox students attending these universities please forward their contact infomation to Mira1@bigfoot.com.
