The Cleveland American Middle Eastern Organization (CAMEO) has been in existence for over 50 years. C.A.M.E.O. is designed to articulate the political interest of more than 275,000 Northeastern Ohio residents of Middle Eastern Heritage, Arab Americans.
C.A.M.E.O. has one central purpose, to appraise candidates running for Public Office, that will offer political support to those who are best prepared to respond to our concerns. C.A.M.E.O. accepts the diversity of religious and political philosophies and beliefs of its membership. C.A.M.E.O. membership means a commitment to local political action that will enhance the voting strength and amplify the profile of the Arab American community in Northeastern Ohio.
At their annual picnic on Sunday July 13, 2025 the large crowd was greeted with food, music, camaraderie, balloons and face painting for the kids and more.
One new addition at the CAMEO picnic was the ClevelandPeople.com map of the Middle East. Here are some images of people showing where their heritage began.
