May 19th Pontian Genocide Remembrance

Worldwide, Greek communities commemorate the Pontian Greek Genocide on May 19th - the date in 1919 when Mustafa Kemal-Ataturk, the founder of modern-day Turkey, initiated the second phase of the Pontian ethnic cleansing and genocide in the city of Samsun on the Black Sea. I wanted to make this day aware just as we celebrate the Independence Day March 25th we should commemorate May 19th were 353,000 Pontian Greeks from the years 1914-1923 had lost their lives.  For more information regarding Pontus and the Genocide please visit   www.pontiangreeks.org

                   SAE USA Youth Network and Hermes Expo International:

Seeking to Empower the Youth

Dear Fellow Hellene-Americans,

SAE USA Youth Network is proud to announce its first Professional Growth and Youth Mentorship Fair to be held April 24-25, 2010, in Atlantic City, NJ.  The objective of the Youth Mentorship Fair is to provide young Greek-Americans who are aspiring to meet the professional demands of the 21st century with a forum to connect, interface, and learn from seasoned Greek-American leaders from various fields including Business, Medicine, Law, Academia, and Engineering.  

The Youth Mentorship Fair will consist of specialized workshops and private one-on-one sessions where mentors from various fields can provide help and advice to youths seeking guidance.   

The event will be hosted in conjunction with the Hermes Expo International and the National Hellenic Student Association.  Going on its 19th year, Hermes Expo is one of the foremost trade shows connecting the Greek-American and philhellenic community by facilitating trade relations, promoting investment and business, and fostering relationships and networking. The National Hellenic Student Association will also host its conference at Hermes Expo and will participate actively at the event.

Parallel to Hermes International Expo, the GREEN Symposium will bring together distinguished members of the community to share an open dialogue on developments, successes, and innovative ideas.  The Hellenic Medical Societies of New York and of Philadelphia will be hosting their Continuing Medical Education (CME) conference at the same time.  

This presents an ideal opportunity for Greek-American youth to access seasoned professionals from various fields of interest and engage in one-on-one contact. This occasion will allow youths to learn about career opportunities, prepare for an increasingly competitive job market, and share

 

 

in the dynamic experiences of seasoned mentors. Ultimately, this will result in developing bonds between mentors and youth, seeking the broader goal of creating a robust professional network across our community.

What led to the Greek War of Independance?

Location:

National Hellenic Museum

801 West Adams Street, Suite 400

Chicago, IL 60607

Begins: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 at 6:00 PM

Ends: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 at 8:00 PM

Entry fee: $7 for members $10 for non members $5 for students and for SAE Youth Network

The Greek War of Independence was a historical event which may be understood in the context of international relations of early 19th century: the inspiration offered by the ideological and political principles of the French Revolution, the national movements in Europe and Latin America, as well as the national movements of Balkan Christian peoples against the Ottoman Empire, the European status quo determined by the Holy Alliance, and the romantic philhellenic movement. The presentation will offer a panorama of all these complex historical conditions which favoured the development of a Greek national movement and led to the creation of the Greek state.

The Truth about Macedonia

Experience has taught us that it is very difficult to communicate with people who have lived under, and have been trained by, the Communist mentality. Case in point: the misleading and well-camouflaged claims made by the honorable foreign minister of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Antonio Milososki, to The Washington Times in the article "Name game blame" (Embassy Row, July 11) that his country will promote stronger trade relations with the United States, and, with its transition to an independent nation, should be designated Macedonia, not FYROM.
