G.O.Y.A. NEWS
The G.O.Y.A year is beginning and
the Roseland G.O.Y.A is preparing
for a year of learning, growing,
and excitement.
In September,
We had our first General
Meeting on Friday, September
12th. We began the year with
returning familiar faces as well
as many new faces, which we are
very excited to include into our
Roseland family. Vice President
James Boffa ran the meeting and
all those who attended were excited and looking forward to starting
a new year of G.O.Y.A.
The year began with the Celebration of the Elevation of the
Holy Cross in Asbury Park on
September, 21st with neighboring
parishes of the Metropolis of New
Jersey. From our own G.O.Y.A,
we had two divers represent us:
Spyridoula Fotinis in the Senior
Girls Division and Karisa Taggart
in the Junior Girls Division. Many
other members of our youth also
attended church and participated
in a great day of fellowship with
other G.O.Y.Ans and community
members.
As a church, we recently had our
festival the last weekend in September. The G.O.Y.A assisted by
having individuals volunteer to
perform activities such as cleaning
up tables, washing trays, and providing general assistance to ensure
that the festival ran as smoothly as
possible. Additionally, the G.O.Y.A
dance group provided entertainment for all who attended, per-
8
by Spyridoula Fotinis and James Boffa
forming once on Friday night,
four times on Saturday, and twice
to finish up on Sunday morning.
The performance was the routine
that was performed at the 2014
Sights and Sounds performance
with additional dances added
specifically for the festival such
as Tsamiko (тСАЛИЙОР), Ikariotiko (иЙАЯИОТИЙОР), Zembekiko
(фЕЛПЕЙИЙОР), and Kalamatiano
(йАКАЛАТИАМОР) where parents
and festival attendees were able to
join in. Overall, all the G.O.Y.Ans
that attended were enthralled to
assist in the festival and we all had
a great experience participating
and helping to make it a success.
In October,
The month of October has many
exciting events planned. First,
the Mr. & Miss G.O.Y.A Pageant
will be taking place on Sunday
October 12th at the Pines Manor
in Edison. Spyridoula Fotinis will
be representing our G.O.Y.A and
community with Tony Dedes as
her escort.
On Sunday, Oct. 19th, the Roseland Greek Dance group will be
performing at the Roseland Public
Library to showcase our Greek
culture through ethnic dances.
Next, on October 24th is the first
State G.O.Y.A Event, The Harvest
Dance, at St. Anna╒s in Flemington. Each G.O.Y.A is asked to
bring a canned food item to donate to the Flemington local food
bank, which our G.O.Y.A will be
participating in.
In November,
For November, Youth Sunday will be celebrated on Sunday,
November 16th. Members of the
G.O.Y.A will be present in different helpful positions throughout
the church. Further, we will be
hosting a Loukoumades Sale to
benefit our G.O.Y.A program.
Thank you for your continued
support!

news from the daughters
of penelope
Our first meeting was on Wed. Oct 1 where we set a tentative agenda for the year. We started the year
off with a trip to Grounds for Sculpture. Seward Johnson established the grounds to promote an understanding and appreciation of contemporary sculpture. The life-like sculptures are breathtaking. Visit
their website: groundsforsculpture.org for details.
We are sponsoring community events this fall. October, 5 ? November, 16 we are holding a Coat Drive.
Gently used, clean or new apparel in all sizes for men, women and children is welcome. The coats will
be distributed to local charities supported by the Daughters. See enclosed flyer for details.
November we celebrate the founding of the Daughters of Penelope. The Daughters works to raise awareness and funds for many organizations and ministries. Our most prominent over many years have been
Papanicolaou Cancer Research, Cooley╒s anemia, Penelope Home for Abused Women and children,
New Eyes for the Needy, St. Basil╒s academy, and Ss. NCH. We also support our high school and college
students with scholarships for continuing education. (Applications for local chapter, district and national
scholarships will be available.)
Sunday, Nov. 16, we will be celebrating Founder╒s Day. Traditionally, on Founder╒s Day we focus on the
purpose of the Daughters and inviting new members to join our growing organization. This year we are
adding a community-wide event: a Health Fair.
Ida Stathakis has chaired health events in the past, and once again has organized a most informative
program offering free screenings by health professionals. Dr. Daniskas and Christine Ciprich, RN will
perform blood pressure screening, Kurt Schwarz, Hearing aid Specialist; will perform hearing screening,
Dr. Antonacos will perform vision screening and Carol Andreou, Occupational Therapist, will perform
therapeutic hand massage for chronic pain management and stress release.
Literature and brochures will be available for you to help manage your health regimen. We invite all of
our Ss. NCH family to avail themselves of these screenings.
?Just for fun? we are going to the Hunterdon Hills Playhouse and plan to have a holiday gift wrapping
table at Barnes & Noble, Livingston Mall.
Looking to 2015, we will have our traditional Valentine╒s Basket Raffle and Koulourakia Bake Sale.
As always, we welcome new members. See any member of the Daughters for an application. We meet on
the first Wed. of the month@7:00 coincident with our Brother AHEPAns.
To the family of Ss. NCH, May the Peace, Joy and Love embodied in the Christmas Season be yours
through 2015.
