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.

This past weekend, the National Hellenic Society was pleased to be in Chicago as guests of the National Hellenic Museum for their Gala celebration!  The Museum and the NHS co-hosted a well attended VIP reception in honor of Doctor George Korkos, a Board Member of both organizations.  On the following day the NHS held its Board Meeting in collaboration with the NHM to explore mutual collaboration on joint projects advancing our shared mission to preserve and pass on Hellenic Heritage in America.  Following the board meeting, the NHS held a lunch reception with keynote speaker Lea Soupata, former Board Member and Senior Executive of United Parcel Service (UPS), who serves as a mentor to many of the Heritage Greece Alumni.  A mentorship meet and greet followed the lunch which also included Pan Hellenic Scholars.  On Saturday evening the National Hellenic Museum hosted their annual gala for their entire parea at The Geraghty in Chicago.
