Panchiaki Korais Society, along with the Chian Federation and Chios Societies of America and Canada, will be co-hosting the commemoration of a very solemn and sobering event in our island’s history .
Church Service and Memorial will be at Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Astoria from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM.
Immediately following church services, we will be co-hosting a Program and Luncheon at The Chian Federation in Astoria.
Peter Gerazounis, president of the Panchiaki Korais Society, will be the keynote speaker presenting a thorough history of the tragedy including the events leading up to it as well as the outcome and impact it made on the history of Greece.
If you don’t attend church services, you may meet us at The Chian Federation. Program will begin around 11:00 AM.
This presentation will be primarily in English, and we hope to see many of our young adults participate and learn more about these significant events that shaped the course of our island and its history.
The event is by invitation only. You need to RSVP to chianfed@gmail.com or call The Chian Federation at 718-204-2550.
