Mr. Speaker. I rise today to recognize the First District of Virginias Hellenic community as it celebrates the 50th anniversary of Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Newport News. Greek immigrants have lived and worked on the Virginia Peninsula from as early as 1900. From its humble beginnings to today. the Greek community has played a significant role in the growth and prosperity of the Virginia Peninsula. It also has established a number of associations and organizations for its members. which add to the strength of the community as a whole. The benefits of such associations are innumerable.
