St. George Socialites
The St. George Socialites was organized in 1999 upon the recommendation of Father George Xenophanes, our interim priest at the time. Both Mrs. Xenia Morris and Mrs. Stavroula Panas initiated the first meeting and the senior Socialites organization was formed. It was decided that a volunteer council would serve rather than an elected executive board. It consisted of the late Crystal Aridas, Sophia Anest, Esther Chrisicos, Lu Kosaitis, Susan Aschettino and Florence Pascal.
The main purpose of the Socialites, parishioners 55 plus, is to get together for periodic luncheon meetings and trips. Since 1999, multi-day bus trips have been to Cape Cod, Montreal, Quebec, Niagara Falls, Toronto and Williamsburg, Virginia. The Socialites have enjoyed numerous Broadway shows, luncheon shows, plus the annual bus trips to museums and Astoria. Some Socialites may be old in years, but they are definitely 'young at heart'. We have between 70-75 paid members and more are welcome.
