Welcome new club members

  This is a summary of last month’s activities, most of which were conducted online and by telephone, given that most of the country was still confined or with minimal interaction. Many of our members have suffered greatly from the Port Explosion. We wish all of them well, and stand by their side.  
New Initiatives
Following the explosion, Lebanon Opportunities launched an initiative to support businesses that have suffered from the blast. It offered support in the following areas:
  
Office space
Temporary document storage
Temporary clerical tasks and backup
Information and data needs
Communication support for changes in your business
Help in sourcing suppliers or service providers
Advertising your own support offers to the business community
Obviously, there was no cost or fees associated with these temporary arrangements.
   A two-week long outdoor and digital platform campaign was launched to contribute to boosting morale and as a reminder of the survival history of our business community. The theme of the campaign was lifted from the famous song ‘I will Survive’, known by most citizens who identify with it when they remember how they overcame the various wars and challenges of the distant and not-so-distant past. The outdoor campaign was done in collaboration with Pikasso, our newest member.
