NHS Celebrates OXI Day With Casino Night Fundraiser for Heritage Greece Program

11/2/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
On October 28th 1940, Greek prime minister Ioannis Metaxas said: “OXI” (NO) to an ultimatum made by Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini, which then led to the Greco-Italian War. Oxi Day represents Greeks' resilience, passion, dedication, and will to live freely, to honor their ancestors' sacrifices and preserve their culture.

On Oxi Day 2022, over 130 members of the Greek-American community gathered at Woodside Country Club, in Syosset, NY for a poker fundraiser, a rich dinner and drinks and a celebration of our Hellenic Heritage.  The evening was hosted by the NHS New York Heritage Greece Initiative and the NHS NY Chapter Committee and Sponsors.

NHS Postpones Heritage Greece 2021

2/19/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
In an abundance of caution relating to the COVID crisis, the Board of Directors of the National Hellenic Society postponed the Heritage Greece 2021 Program until next year.  Despite progress towards the mitigation of the virus’ impact, the risks and uncertainties abound and are accentuated with international travel plans.  The safety, health and well-being of Heritage Greece student participants, peers, faculty, staff and team members remains NHS’ top priority.  The Board of Directors assessed all available information and decided that postponement of the Heritage Greece Program until next year is the most prudent course to take.
 
All Heritage Greece students previously accepted and acknowledged respective participation in the 2021 Heritage Greece Program shall be eligible to participate in either of the Program’s two sessions next year.  This includes graduating 2020/2021 seniors.  Candidates with pending applications will remain in place for consideration next year.
 
NHS is grateful for the support and interest in the lifechanging Heritage Greece Program.  NHS is committed to the future of the Program for the long-term.  We are inspired by the Program’s impact on Heritage Greece Alumni, and we await the opportunity to welcome many more to the ranks of the NHS family in the years ahead.

A Success Story... In the Making

10/18/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
A decade ago a group of Greek-American business leaders met to discuss an idea about the establishment of a new model Greek-American organization unlike others: one shying away from Church, politics, and foreign policy, yet one that embraces Hellenism’s values, ideals, and culture with the hopes of perpetuating the same. The group recognized that there is a clear nexus between the inherited heritage and legacy and impact on individual and collective successes, happiness, balance, and well-being. Moreover, the group believed that it is imperative to pass on this heritage and legacy to future generations, albeit as a symbol of the recognition of the sacrifices and efforts their forebears faced to ensure their dreams for all of us came true. 

The envisioned organization would comprise accomplished individuals of the highest caliber in terms of integrity, character, and dedication. They would be invited to join and in doing so would find opportunities to meet with one another, to celebrate the hallmark joie de vivre of a collective Greek spirit and work towards developing programs that support efforts that really make a difference.

NHS Members and guests are invited to join the National Hellenic Society's New York Chapter for a special evening in support of our Heritage Greece Program at the Plandome Golf Country Club in Plandome, New York on Friday, November 1st at 7:00 p.m.

This past year, Summer 2019, marked the 10 Year Anniversary of the Heritage Greece Program.  Watching this program grow and evolve over this period of time has been inspiring and magical. The National Hellenic Society has sent over 400 young adults to Greece for a two week cultural immersion program in the past 10 years.  As much of an accomplishment as that is, there is room to grow.  This program has been described as "life changing" and "an experience they will never forget".  In order to expand and preserve this program we ask for your help.

Please join NHS members and guests to support our beloved Heritage Greece Program.  An evening of dining and entertainment.  Entry per person is $495 which includes food, beverage, and Poker Tournament entry (to the first 140 people who register), and a Grand Prize entry- Two Round Trip Business Class Tickets (NYC to Athens).  Those who register after the first 140 slots are filled, will be entered in Blackjack, Craps, and Roulette tournament.
