A group of Greek and Greek Cypriot Americans announce they will host a fundraiser reception in support of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and his running mate Joe Biden. The event “New York Greek Americans and Friends for Obama-Biden ’08 – A Celebration of America and Hellenism” will be held one day before the first highly anticipated presidential debate on Thursday, September 25, 2008 at 6:00pm–8:30pm, at the Olympic Tower Atrium Café, 645 Fifth Avenue (entrance on 51st St.) in New York City. NY Assemblyman Michael Gianaris will make a special guest appearance. Additional guests will be announced at www.nygreekamericansforobama.com, but Barack Obama and Joe Biden will not be attending.Event hosts Dean Sirigos, Olga Alexakos, co-hosts and chairpersons are leaders and members of numerous Greek-American organizations. Jeff Kurzon is affiliated with Armenians for Obama and Obama NYC. Sirigos stressed that due to the partisan nature of the event, the event will focus on individual participants and not local Greek-American organizations. “In the future our efforts may develop into a flexible and effective network, which can join with traditional organizations and others that might be formed by Greek Republicans to mobilize our community. As Greek Americans we will then finally have the public affairs impact we need and deserve,” Sirigos said. Olga Alexakos said it’s a wonderful and important opportunity for New York area Greek Americans to rally for an Obama-Biden ticket and to make a vital contribution to this important campaign. “We strongly encourage donations beyond the minimum to fuel our drive to victory in November and to show our community’s support for Obama-Biden.” Speakers will highlight the Obama-Biden support of Greece and Cyprus. As a member of the United States Senate, Barack Obama has supported Greek American community positions on Greece and Cyprus and Joseph Biden has been a strong supporter and leader on those issues for more than 30 years. Event minimum donation is $50 ($30 for students) and will feature a musical performance by Blue Note recording guitarist Spiros Exaras and vocalist Fay. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres, wine and refreshments will be served. For more information and RSVP, visit www.nygreekamericansforobama.com
