Because they are smaller than their peers, they face ridicule and rejection and must learn how to cope with their smallness. Those problems have become the concern of a group of parents in Utah who have children of small statures. The group, a organization now part of a national group IBM Compatible Word Processing 128K is nal organizations, recently held its annual Get Acquainted barbecue at the Geoige Condas ranch in Park City. The party was held to enlist new members in the organization. The society, the second oldest church group in the Greek Orthodox community, was organized in 1926 in Bingham City. Customary to fraternal organizations during those times, membership was strictly all male but there was also a thriving womens auxiliary. It performed many functions that were important to the immigrant social, religious, charitable and community activities. An important function during those times was to provide a burial services for the early Greek immigrant who died in the United States. The society also helped pay for hospital stays and provided money to indigents. The organization functioned on behalf of the Greek Orthodox Church, Greek language schools, various community, charitable, cultural and education programs in the United States and Greece. Approximately 10 years ago, the organization decided not take on new members and the club dwindled down to this years 12 members, according to cnris S. Metos, vice president of the organization. James is president of the organization while Con J. Skedros is the secretary-treasureThe barbecue, Mr. Metos said, was held to gain members for the new Society of Athanasios Diakos who are interested in the heritage, culture, language, tradition and customs of Greece. He said the club may have gained approximately 50 members during the barbecue. The new society allows men and women age 18 or older who can trace their ancestory to Greece to become members. Membership is also available to their spouses, children and grandchildren. The society, named after a Greek hero and martyr of the Greek Revolution in 1822, was founded by the original members who wanted to associate themselves for the social, charitable, religious and spiritual welfare of those who had emigrated from the central part of Greece to the United States.
