Και φέτος όπως και κάθε χρόνο πραγματοποιείται στην Νέα Υόρκη η Ελληνική Παρέλαση Ανεξαρτησίας.
Φέτος 2011 θα πραγματοποιηθεί στις 27 Μαρτίου ημέρα Κυριακή.
Η αρχή θα γίνει στις 13:00 στην πέμπτη Λεωφόρο μεταξύ της 64 και 79 Οδού στο Μανχάταν.
Η Ελληνική παρέλαση για την Ανεξαρτησία είναι ένα γεγονός που οι Έλληνες της Διασποράς δείχνουν και διαδίδουν την Ελληνική Παράδοση και Πολιτισμό στις άλλες εθνικές ομάδες της Αμερικής σε ένα πολυπολιτισμικό περιβάλλον όπως είναι η Νέα Υόρκη. Επιπλέον αναδεικνύει την συμβολή του ελληνικού στοιχείου στην πρόοδο της Αμερικής και συμβάλλει στη διατήρηση των δεσμών με την Μητέρα Ελλάδα.
Ακολουθεί το κείμενο που μας έστειλε η Πανικαριακή Αδελφότητα καθώς και το πρόγραμμα της παρέλασης.
Εμείς, η Ικαριακή Ραδιοφωνία, ακροατές και αναγνώστες σας στέλνουμε όλη μας την αγάπη και τις σκέψεις μας από το νησάκι σας την Ικαρία, στηρίζοντας κάθε εκδήλωση σας όπως μπορούμε!!!
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
On Sunday, March 27, 2011, the Greek Independence Day Parade will commence at 1:30 p.m. on 5th
Avenue, between 64th and 79th Streets in Manhattan. The Greek Independence Day Parade is an event through which we Hellenes can project and promote our traditions and endeavors to the other ethnic communities in this cosmopolitan metropolis we live in, and indeed, to the world. While it is an occasion for reflecting on the history of our ethnic homeland, the parade also offers us the opportunity to renew our commitment to the present, continue our contribution to the progress of America, and maintain the ties that still connect us to Greece. This year?s parade will once again be televised on channel 9. This is why we need your full support and participation at the parade.
With that said, we all need to show up on time. That means we all need to meet at 1:15PM at 64St Street between 5th and Park Avenues. This year we are in the First Battalion, Group #40. A document listing the order of parade battalions has been attached to this e-mail. (Please be aware that street assignments might change) It is important that we all maintain a PROFESSIONAL DRESS CODE. We must all look uniform by wearing muted solid dress colors such as white tops and black pants. Please NO SNEAKERS, JEANS or BRIGHT COLORS. If possible please dress your children in traditional Greek wear. In addition, not all parents will be allowed to accompany their children on the float. A few adults will be selected to supervise the children.
The parade will be televised so it is very important to be well organized and dressed. You can obtain more details about the parade and meeting point by calling Evangelos Karoutsos at 917-731-9315. A tasty luncheon will follow as always at the Pan-Icarian Hall after the parade.
We hope you can participate or attend the parade. Thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely,
The Executive Board
