Greek Olympic Society

Greek Olympic Society's mission is to promote fraternal fellowship and social interaction among all who embody and embrace the Hellenic Principles and Traditions.

Greek Olympic Society began as a soccer club by the recent immigrants from Greece in the 1960s, but it soon turned into social club that organized dinner dances to finance its activities and assist our church. Eventually it became a philanthropic and cultural society open to everyone who embraces the traditional Hellenic ideals.

Our membership is open to all who embody the Hellenic Ideals, so feel free to join us as a member, or to come to our meetings, which are open, and are held every second Thursday of the month in the Greek Orthodox Cathedral. The programs include a social hour @ 6pm, dinner @7, 7:30 brief business meeting, followed by a speaker on current events or on community concerns.
