To all HCC friends, members & directors, 

We are approaching 41 years since Turkey's invasion of Cyprus which resulted in the occupation of about 38% of the sovereign territory of the republic. We all know or have suffered the consequences of Turkey's illegal and barbaric actions. 160,000 refugees, destruction of churches and our heritage, colonization with Anatolian settlers, 1500 Greek Cypriots still missing, to name a few.

The Pan Cyprian Association of Texas is holding a memorial to commemorate the fallen and missing Greeks and Cypriots, this coming Sunday July 19th at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, we are urging everyone to attend.

We are sponsoring the Fellowship coffee at the Martel hall and will have a table with literature and information about the Cyprus issue.

Please join. 

On Behalf of Pan Cyprian Association,

Yannis Remediakis 

President

Day of Europe Celebration

This year's event combined a commemorative educational happening, dances performed by the Olympian dancers and a greeting by his Eminence Metropolitan Isaiah of Denver and a greeting from the Consul General of Greece Mr. Papanikolaou. State Representative of District 25, Honorable Dennis Bonnen sent us a copy of the House resolution recognizing March 25th 2015 as the Greek Independence Day. A unique contribution for the success of this event was offered by the multi-talented Choir of the Annunciation Hellenic Orthodox Cathedral who not only masterfully sang the national anthems of Greece and of the USA but also participated in the inspiring reading of various excerpts from memoirs and speeches of key figures of the Greek War of Independence. 

You can watch the video of entire event here.  You can find below excerpts from memoirs and speeches recited during the educational segment of the event.
