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.
Genealogical Information
I am interested in collecting
genealogical information from society members, including data for
their grandparents, great-grandparents, as far back as a member
can go. I am also interested in posting the data for deceased
members ONLY on a page in this website so that others may view the
data and make connections to their family trees. Contact your
membership director, Stephanie Schlick, at tsintzinasociety@yahoo.com.
I will send you a form to fill out and send
back.
