A message from Donna Demos
|
|
A co-worker asked me to share this with our church members. They are reaching out to the Greek communities for their support in finding a bone marrow match for their little boy. I know it is past the registry drive they had in Troy at St. Nicholas Greek Church on the 18th, but I’m sure they still need our help. Elias is the 22
nd
case of a rare immunodeficiency disease called Nemo (Nuclear factor-kappa B essential modulator deficiency syndrome).
The baby’s parents names are Evelyn and Antonio Argirokastritis, and she has a following on Facebook.com.

Sam and Dolores Vosovic wish to thank the many kind parishioners who sent cards & phone calls after the death of our son Samuel. Memory Eternal!

Greek Islands Photography Project - Promoting Greece
|
|
Milan Gonda, a photographer working on a project aspiring to promote less known parts of Greece through her photography has reached out to us with a kind request to share this information about her project with the people in our community.
Her work aspires to create a unique imagery of seldom photographed landscapes of Greek islands and their cultural heritage and through establishing collaborations with local businesses and communities, it also seeks to contribute to travel industry and economy of Greek islands. She is currently organizing an exhibition of her photographs in Blank Wall Gallery in Athens and addressing Greek communities in hope that her message will reach people interested in supporting her aspirations either by sharing this message or by directly supporting her crowdfunding campaign.
