The First Reciepients of the Hellenic Heritage Award to be honored
Saturday, April 5th at the Royalty House of Warren.
The first recipients of these awards are John Butsicaris, Nick Kastrantas,
Dr. Ted Pantos, Manuel Papista, Dr. Demetrios T. Politis, Popi Teknos,
Spero Theros, and Louis Vlahantones. They will receive their awards
at the Parade Banquet Saturday, April 5, at the Royalty House on Chicago
Road in Warren, Michigan. Each year outstanding individuals and their
accomplishments will be awarded and their significant contributions
preserved in the history of Greek Americans in Detroit.
The Hellenic Heritage Awards represent those who have demonstrated
leadership in establishing the Hellenic community as well as the greater
metropolitan Detroit community. It is time we recognize the contributions
of so many who have immigrated, assimilated and enriched the culture
of America with their efforts on behalf of the Greek community, said
George Reganis, Chairperson of the Detroit Greek Parade Committee.
We want to preserve the history of generations of Greeks who were
part of the development of this wonderful country we live in. So little
has been recorded or presented about Hellenic culture and its people
in our city.
The Banquet will also highlight the exciting visit of the Evzone and
Amalies groups from Greece. The Banquet will begin at 6:30 p.m. and
the program at 8:00 p.m. The Group formed in 1994 has performed in
major cities through out Greece, Europe, Australia and Canada. Accompanying
the group will be Professor Dimitri Karavasilies their dance instructor.
