Greetings, readers! My name is Melissa Sassaman.

I am a recently retired elementary school teacher who lives in Egypt. I’m looking forward to sharing information with you about events in the Egypt/Cementon communities.

If your organization would like to have information published, please email the details to me at sassamanm@gmail.com.
