Tom Saras-Editor "Patrides"
President, Ethnic Press.
Dear Tom:
Greetings from my family and appreciationfor the homour to be part of the
Ethnic Press ceremonies  to recognize the best in our community in front of
the "His Excellency'' the General Governor of Ontario at Queens Rark on
Sept. 10-04. During the ceremonies a connection was asserted between the
Ethnic Press and its contribution to the well being of all minorities whose
English is a second language. In your key note speech you have inspired us
all by pointing out the hard work and sacrifices, as well as the successesof
so many individuals and organizations that make our local community a role
model for others to follow. The fact that a good number of honourarees were
ofGreek decent made me particularly proud. Cogratultions to them for their
outstanding contributions in their respective areas.These people ara amongst
ourselves and becouse of their achievement become excellent ambassandors of
Greece and promote the Greek values. Tom, again,
permit me to praise your dedication and hard work you commit yourself to
promote the interest of minorities through
media,meetings,promotions,community projects etc. With regards, Kostas
Arapis
