if you or a member of your family are members you may sign up to answer the online voting BSA is doing regarding the gay leaders issue. I highly recommend you call/ vote write.
There are members of the Board who are being influencecd by corporate donors. (Such as United Way) who have said they will stop donating until the policy is changed. I have talked to many in council who feel the BSA will go to a no written policy and let individual charter holders decide. So if the charter holder is a church they could say NO gay leaders or members.

Comment on Beloved Priest, Father Angelo Gavalas, Falls Asleep in the Lord by Dr. William H. Samonides

To the family of Father Angelo Gavalas: My deepest condolences on the loss of your father and grandfather, Father Angelo. I just heard of passing today. I have just begun writing a column on the early history of the Greek Orthodox Church in North America for the Orthodox Observer. I have done considerable research on all the early priests in America, including Father Harry Gavalas. I was thinking of featuring Father Harry Gavalas in a future article as a tribute to him and his son, both of whom served the church for so many years. Please contact me if you would like to share information and contribute to the article. There is no urgency about this. I was thinking about having the article appear in the Orthodox Observer in November 2013 on the 1-yr anniversary of Father Angelo’s passing. Please consider this and get back to me after some time has passed. I look forward to hearing from you. Again my wife and I send our condolences. Thank you.

Can someone give me a phone # so that I can personally contact an official from EOCS concerning my daughter becoming recognized for her accomplishments as a Daisy soon to become a Brownie. I was made aware of Catholic GS being recognized by their faith and happily I found that there is a group in place for Greek Orthodox Scouts. Now I just need to find out what I need to do next! Thanks!
