Special to the Hellenic News of America

Hamilton, NJ---Dr. Emily Spireas is always touched by people in need and always has been a great philanthropist. On Saturday March 16th the Hellenic Vision hosted a Benefit Dinner Dance at the Community Center of St. George in Hamilton. Dr. Spireas was a part of this effort as the treasurer of the Hellenic vision. It is because of people like Emily Spireas and so many other Greek-American that Greece can hope for help coming from abroad. Greece and its people are going through some very tough times. All proceeds of the event will be given directly to needy children of Greece who show up hungry at school on a daily basis. Sigmapharm Laboratories was one of the platinum sponsors of the event and CEO Dr. Spiros Spireas also attended the event.

Project Rebuilding Saint Nicholas Church to complete by 2014

New York, NY---The Metropolitan Engineering Societies Council and the Hellenic American Technical Chamber sponsored the Engineers week celebration gala at the Polytechnic Institute of NYU in Brooklyn on Wednesday February 13, 2013. Engineers’ Week is an annual celebration to recognize the achievement of engineers in New York, across the United States and around the world.

During the event, Nicholas Koutsomitis, a prominent Greek-American and Principal of Koutsomitis Architects PC in New York City spoke about the design and construction challenges faced in the replacement of the Saint Nicholas Church at the World Trade Center which could open by 2014. Greek immigrants founded the original Saint Nicholas Church in Lower Manhattan, in 1922 at 155 Cedar Street. During the tragic events of September 11^th, 2001, Saint Nicholas Church was destroyed by falling debris from the World Trade Center’s South tower. After ten years of legal struggles with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, a settlement was finally reached to build a new church. This church will include a nondenominational bereavement center of the WTC site. The Port Authority will build this platform at the corner of Greenwich and Liberty Streets at the site of the former Deutsche Bank Building.

Αποστολή

Χάμιλτον, Νέα Ιερσέη---Η Δρ. Αμαλία Σπυρέα πάντοτε ευαισθητοποιημένη σε θέματα φιλανθρωπίας και βοήθειας προς τον συνάνθρωπο συμμετείχε ενεργά στον έρανο-δείπνο που διοργάνωσε το "Ελληνικό `Όραμα", του οποίου είναι και ταμίας το βράδυ του Σαββάτου 16 Μαρτίου στο πολιτιστικό κέντρο της εκκλησίας του αγίου Γεωργίου στο Χάμιλτον της Νέας Ιερσέης. Η Δρ. Σπυρέα όπως και τόσοι άλλοι `Ελληνες της Αμερικής με αυτόν τον τρόπο έδειξε την έμπρακτη συμπαράσταση της στην Ελλάδα και τους `Έλληνες που αναμφισβήτητα περνούν πολύ δύσκολες ώρες. Τα έσοδα του δείπνου θα διατεθούν σε οικογένειες με μικρά παιδιά στην Ελλάδα, πολλά από τα οποία πηγαίνουν νηστικά σε καθημερινή βάση στο σχολείο. `Ένας από τους μεγαλύτερους σπόνσορες της βραδιάς ήταν και η "Sigma Farm Laboratories" την οποία διευθύνει και διοικεί ο Δρ. Σπύρος Σπυρέας.
