NEWS The G.O.Y.A year is beginning and the Roseland G.O.Y.A is preparing for a year of learning, growing, and excitement. In September, We had our first General Meeting on Friday, September 12th. We began the year with returning familiar faces as well as many new faces, which we are very excited to include into our Roseland family. Vice President James Boffa ran the meeting and all those who attended were excited and looking forward to starting a new year of G.O.Y.A. The year began with the Celebration of the Elevation of the Holy Cross in Asbury Park on September, 21st with neighboring parishes of the Metropolis of New Jersey. From our own G.O.Y.A, we had two divers represent us: Spyridoula Fotinis in the Senior Girls Division and Karisa Taggart in the Junior Girls Division. Many other members of our youth also attended church and participated in a great day of fellowship with other G.O.Y.Ans and community members. As a church, we recently had our festival the last weekend in September. The G.O.Y.A assisted by having individuals volunteer to perform activities such as cleaning up tables, washing trays, and providing general assistance to ensure that the festival ran as smoothly as possible. Additionally, the G.O.Y.A dance group provided entertainment for all who attended, per- 8 by Spyridoula Fotinis and James Boffa forming once on Friday night, four times on Saturday, and twice to finish up on Sunday morning. The performance was the routine that was performed at the 2014 Sights and Sounds performance with additional dances added specifically for the festival such as Tsamiko (тСАЛИЙОР), Ikariotiko (иЙАЯИОТИЙОР), Zembekiko (фЕЛПЕЙИЙОР), and Kalamatiano (йАКАЛАТИАМОР) where parents and festival attendees were able to join in. Overall, all the G.O.Y.Ans that attended were enthralled to assist in the festival and we all had a great experience participating and helping to make it a success. In October, The month of October has many exciting events planned. First, the Mr. & Miss G.O.Y.A Pageant will be taking place on Sunday October 12th at the Pines Manor in Edison. Spyridoula Fotinis will be representing our G.O.Y.A and community with Tony Dedes as her escort. On Sunday, Oct. 19th, the Roseland Greek Dance group will be performing at the Roseland Public Library to showcase our Greek culture through ethnic dances. Next, on October 24th is the first State G.O.Y.A Event, The Harvest Dance, at St. Anna╒s in Flemington. Each G.O.Y.A is asked to bring a canned food item to donate to the Flemington local food bank, which our G.O.Y.A will be participating in. In November, For November, Youth Sunday will be celebrated on Sunday, November 16th. Members of the G.O.Y.A will be present in different helpful positions throughout the church. Further, we will be hosting a Loukoumades Sale to benefit our G.O.Y.A program. Thank you for your continued support! Spyridoula Fotinis - President James Boffa ? Vice President G.O.Y.A.
