| Message from the Founder |
| Dear Friend,
As citizens of our community we have the luxury of living in one of the most beautiful areas of the world. However, we have the responsibility to contribute to our community and society our best practices in life, for the future generations. All for the development of a better society, and for maintaining our country in a leading position in the world. For centuries, the spirit of Homer, Socrates, and Plato have guided the path of our society in values, morals, ethics, respect of human life, and the joy of the Knowledge of Oneself. Over the last decade, our local public school system has been challenged by the reduction of resources, and thereby has been forced to eliminate many valuable programs including The Arts. These reductions are limiting the intellectual growth of the future generations. As active citizens, we accept the responsibility of assisting our community by establishing the Hellenic Cultural Institute - California Central Coast with the purpose of promoting and preserving the Hellenic Spirit, Culture and Heritage, past and present. This includes, but not limited to, the Arts, History, Geography and Archeology, Physical and Social Sciences, and providing Scholarships for students that choose Classic Greek Studies. The Hellenic Cultural Institute is not a Greek-American Club. It is the voice of local Americans who care about the quality of life and future of our society, and future generations. You are invited to contribute to the enrichment of our local culture by becoming a member of the Hellenic Institute. Sincerely, Aris Zavitsanos |
