Notable Members and Initiatives
The Orange Room has consistently been a link between Lebanese citizens and the Free Patriotic Movement's leadership, having among its registered users Members of the Lebanese Parliament such as Ghassan Moukheiber, Salim Salhab and Nicolas Sehnaoui the Minister of Telecommunications. The Orange Room also conducted interviews with Moukheiber, and other notable personalities such as Gaby Issa, Ziad Abs, and Orange TV's IT Department Manager Chadi el Hachem.
At one point, the Orange Room sent a delegation to meet General Michel Aoun and update him on its objectives and progress.
In October 2005, the Orange Room raised over $3,800 for SOLIDE, an NGO fighting for the release of Lebanese citizens detained arbitrarily in Syrian prisons.
In February 2007, the Orange Room raised over $6,000 for riot victim Marc Hoayek, who was seriously injured during the January 23, 2007 Lebanese political protests

Famous quotes containing the words notable, members and/or initiatives:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“In every party there is one person who, through his dotingly credulous enunciation of party principles, incites the other members to defection.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“It is well known, that the best productions of the best human intellects, are generally regarded by those intellects as mere immature freshman exercises, wholly worthless in themselves, except as initiatives for entering the great University of God after death.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
