Chicago - May 10, 2013 – The Boards of the National Hellenic Society (NHS) and the National Hellenic Museum (NHM) held a reception and dinner at the five-star CityGate Grille where hosts John and Mae Calamos welcomed NHS and NHM Board members and guests. The dinner was held by NHS, a sponsor of several National Hellenic Museum programs, including the NHM’s Spirit of Marathon exhibit and Homer Project. The Marathon exhibit celebrates the ancient race from its roots to modern day. NHS will bring the Marathon exhibit to next year’s Boston Marathon as a symbol of NHS’ commitment and support of the shared values we treasure. The Homer Project is a permanent archive of the Greek American experience as told through the recorded interviews of Greek Americans.
