Tsintzina Society Update  

For many years, there has been discussion regarding the creation of a tax deductible entity—one that educates people and maintains artifacts of the history of the growth of Greek immigrants coming to America.  At the October Tsintzina Society board meeting, it was approved to create the Tsintzinian Heritage Society of America, Inc.  So far, it has been incorporated as a not for  profit educational organization and we are awaiting final approval of the IRS to become a 501(c)(3) tax deductible organization.  With this Society, we will be able to share in the operational expenses of the Club House since the board room will become the Society’s library and museum.  The expenses of the Chronicle will be taken over by the new Society and we will be able to apply for money grants for the renovation of our library and museum and the preservation of our artifacts.  Eventually, most of the expenses of the Club House will be paid for by the new Society.  At this time, we are asking members to sign on as Founders.  You can become a Founder by making a tax deductible donation of $1,000 to the new Society.  So far, John Conomikes, Gene Geracimos, Jim Gianukos, John Zacharias and Sam Zacharias have committed to being named Founders. Other categories of donations are available for a lesser amount.  For more information, please contact John Zacharias at 412-497-1776.
