Furthermore, as per our local and state guidelines regarding COVID-19 restrictions, we will not be holding physical classes this fall as we would normally do. erefore, we are moving on by creating online classes/courses for the fall semester hopefully beginning sometime at the end of September. We will notify you with more in- formation as we make progress. On behalf of our teachers, sta and myself, thank you for your patience and understand- ing. Athena Kotinopoulos Georges, M.Ed.

Shortly a er our lives were all shaken with COVID-19 and our Dance & Choral program, as with many other things, came to a screeching halt. Some of you may have costumes to return from FDF. Please hold onto any costumes until we have more direction from the Metropolitan in terms of when we can resume programs at church. On a positive note, we have good news to report about our program. We would like to o cially welcome Kelly Samouris to the Dance & Choral board as our Costume Li- brarian. Kelly has worked very hard already to organize and inventory the costume room, and made serious headway in a very positive direction. Welcome Kelly! As we head into summer, we are looking ahead to our upcoming Dance &Choral year. Even though we of course do not know what the future will hold in terms of the course of this pandemic, we are making plans to re- sume sometime in the early fall. We have the executive board position of Trea- surer available. We thank Christina Frangos for all of her hard work and dedication to our program as Treasurer. Christina will provide all necessary information and documents to our new Treasurer, and will mentor the new Treasurer to ensure the transition is smooth and seamless. If you have any interest in serving on our board as Treasurer, please reach out to Renee Maude at andrianarenee@icloud.com by July 10, 2020. We hope you and your families are able to have a somewhat normal summer, and that you all stay safe and healthy until we are able to meet and fellowship again in person. e Dance & Choral Board GREEK DANCE & CHORAL Dear Seniors, Together we mourn the passing of our long- time dedicated Senior members Christina Tzathas and Peter Parashos .
