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 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.
