Professor Griffin, President Leary and Saudi Club President, Mohammed Alsharkh

On September 25th, The Saudi Club of Bay Path University celebrated in a very big way --- their 85th National Day. Taking over the stage at Blake Common they had an ongoing multimedia presentation with wonderful Arabic music in the background. Visitors to the event first met members of the club who wrote their name in Arabic on a special memorial card designed for the event.

Following that, visitors were greeted by an amazing photo gallery sponsored by SACM (Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission). Then guests enjoyed a wonderful repast of Saudi Arabian food with aromatic Arabian coffee.

Part of the presentation was a representation of low-lying Saudi Arabian furniture that guests could sit on and enjoy a series of photographs of previous Saudi leaders seen hand in hand with American Presidents. President Carol Leary attended the event and participated in cutting a delicious celebratory cake.
