WELCOME TO THE JULY ISSUE OF THE GREEK AMERICAN TIMES

IN MEMORIUM

In Loving Memory of His Eminence Metropolitan Athenagoras of Mexico


It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of His Eminence Metropolitan Athenagoras of Mexico, former Bishop of Mexico. Our nursing home was honored to have hosted His Eminence at the Greek American Rehabilitation and Care Centre in Wheeling, Illinois. We are truly saddened by his sudden loss.


In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Greek American Rehabilitation and Care Centre in his memory.


We extend our deepest condolences to his beloved family, to all those who were spiritually guided by him, and to the entire community here at GARCC is mourning his loss.


With heartfelt sympathy,

Eleni Bousis, Chairman


We sincerely thank Mr. Peter and Mrs. Effie (Logothetis) Gountanis for their generous donation of a brand new Hoyer lift!  Your kindness and support mean so much to our Greek American Rehabilitation and Care Centre. God bless your generosity! 

ACTIVITY HAPPENINGS


As June came into full bloom, we welcomed the sunshine and savored those beautiful summer days out on our patio. Nothing like a warm breeze and good company to set the tone for a joyful month!


Father’s Day Fun in the Sun We honored our amazing dads with a sunny celebration filled with love, laughter, and—of course—tasty treats! It was a day to remember and a sweet way to show appreciation for the fathers and father figures in our lives.


Visits from Our Wonderful Friends June also brought some heartwarming visits from our beloved community groups. A big thank you to:


·        St. Demetrios of Elmhurst

·        St. George Philoptohos Ladies


Each group brought an abundance of delicious goodies and even more smiles. Sharing stories, laughter, and fellowship made for cherished memories all around.


Looking Ahead: July Adventures We're setting our sights on an exciting July full of sunshine and outings! On the calendar:


·        🛍 A shopping trip to the Dollar Tree

·        🎬 A movie day filled with popcorn and fun

·        📚 A visit to the Indian Trails Library

·        🇬🇷 Local Greek Fest celebrations

·        🌸 A scenic stroll at the Botanic Garden


With the sun guiding our way, July is shaping up to be full of friendship, joy, and new adventures. Stay tuned for more fun updates in next month's issue!
