CHIOS, GREECE


The “Chios Societies of America and Canada, Inc.” cordially invites all fellow Chians and their friends to attend the 6th International and 57rd National Chian Convention that will be held in Chios, from July 30 – August 5, 2011. This summer let’s all visit Greece, this way we all will be contributing to the economy of our island. Our message has been the same for all these years from the past five international conventions: return to our roots, to the place where our parents were born, and to introduce our children to Chios, the place we all love.

On Saturday, July 30th, we will all attend the Enosis Omogenon Society’s Annual Dance at the Golden Sand Hotel, in Karfas. On Sunday, July 31st, we will be hosting a beach party for the young adults and the delegates with their families will be dining beachfront in Komi. On August 1st & 2nd, everyone is invited to join us on two separate excursions featuring the Northern & Southern villages of Chios with renowned tour guide, Thomas Karpouzlis. On the evening of Wednesday, August 3rd, the official opening ceremony will take place at the Homeric Cultural Centre in Chios. On Thursday, August 4th, the delegate meeting will take place in the morning and in the evening invited speakers will participate in seminars and discussions about a variety of Hellenic and Chian issues. The Convention concludes with the Grand Banquet where we will return to the Golden Sand Hotel, in Karfas, on Friday, August 5th.

The Supreme Lodge and Board of Directors are looking forward to seeing all members, their families, and friends, at the Convention, so that we may continue this tradition and see forth our ongoing efforts to achieve our goals as Chians. The Convention will be a great opportunity for all Chians from the United States and Canada to meet other Chians from Europe, Africa, and Australia. In these troubled economic times, our presence in Chios this summer will strengthen and support the economy of our beloved Island of Chios.

Ας επισκεφθούμε αυτό το καλοκαίρι την Ελλάδα, συμβάλλοντας με τον τρόπο αυτό στην οικονομία του νησιού μας. Το μηνυμά μας είναι γνωστό όλα αυτά τα χρόνια από τα προυγούμενα συνέδρια: Επιστροφή στις ρίζες μας, στο τόπο που γεννήθηκαν οι γονείς μας, να γνωρίσουν τα παιδιά την Χίο που όλοι έχουμε αγαπήσει.

Την Παρασκευή, 5η Αυγούστου, το συνέδριο θα ολοκληρωθεί με την χοροεσπερίδα μας στο Ξενοδοχείο Golden Sand στόν Καρφά.

Η Υπατη Στοά και το Διοικητικό Συμβούλιο ανυπομονούν να δούν όλα τα μέλη, τις οικογένειες τους και τους φίλους τους στο Συνεδρίο, για να συνεχίσουμε τις προσπάθειές μας ώστε να επιτύχουμε τους στόχους μας ως Χιώτες.

Η παρουσία μας στην Χίο, αυτό το καλοκαίρι, θα ενισχύση και θα υποστηρίξη την οικονομία του αγαπημένου νησιού μας.
