The Greek-American Historical Museum of Washington State held a panel discussion on October 14, 2018, at the Greek Orthodox Church of the Assumption community hall in Seattle, Washington. Approximately 50 people attended following the fellowship hour where light hors d'oeurves were provided.
The panel theme or title was "MAINTAINING OUR CULTURE IN A CHANGING AMERICAN ENVIRONMENT." The purpose was to explore and discuss the roles of the Church, academic institutions and fraternal organizations as the caretakers of our ethnic heritage. It was moderated by John Nicon, President of Greeks in Washington. The full presentation can be see in the three videos below.
