"Last Night's Soup Run" published
Holy Trinity Parishioner Despina Kartson publishes her memoirs of 10 years of Soup Runs!
A memoir full of stories about the often-overlooked homeless population, Last Night’s Soup Run tells a tale of compassion and love via a collection of emails by Despina C. Kartson, a member of an outreach program that feeds the hungry on the streets of New York City.
Through these monthly Soup Runs over the last 10 years, the group has served more than 10,000 meals to their guests on 33rd Street. In these pages, you will learn about real people with real challenges. These individuals have taught Kartson so much, and she's privileged to pass their stories and lessons on to you. They are just like the rest of us, but they're often unseen -- passed over and lonely.
For years, via e-mails to the volunteers and supporters, Kartson has summarized the highlights of their Soup Runs. These first-person accounts offer a glimpse into the lives of those struggling every day with poverty and hunger. She has compiled those e-mails and accompanying comments from members of the outreach into Last Night’s Soup Runto inspire others to help the hungry and homeless. Whether it’s sharing one meal or starting your own Soup Run (which Kartson’s book will help you do), you can pass on this tradition of compassion, dignity, and love. Kartson's hope is that the compassionate among us continue to love them and feed them until none who walk among us are hungry or homeless.
By purchasing this book, you are helping the very people you're reading about: All proceeds go to Philoxenia, a nonprofit founded by Kartson, which provides funding for organizations that feed the hungry and care for the homeless.
First Annual AHEPA Golf Outing a Success
The Jim Plevritis-Joe Keane Evzone Chapter 405 is proud to report a very successful inaugural golf outing. Held at the beautiful Leewood Country Club in Eastchester NY, the tournament was host to 60 golfers and 25 additional dinner guests. The celebration of Gabriel Damascus's birthday - and of course the excitement of the raffles - served as the culmination of a wonderful day. Unfortunately, no players sunk a hole-in-one on the 9th hole. Had they done so, they would have driven away in a new Jaguar SUV!
The AHEPA offers its sincerest thanks to all who supported the event, and especially to the team who worked so tirelessly to make it a success: Phil Koutsis, Kion Papageorge, Zachary Marantis, Harry Fotiadis, John Copulos, Costa Papademetriou, Greg Apostle, John Daskos, Cynthia Herzegovitch, and Constance Mavrovitis.
