P.3--Native sons of Gerakion, Sparta, Greece, who for many years have been established in Chicago, came together last week and decided to form a fraternity of their own. The aim of the fraternity is to effect mutual cooperation and assistance among members and to render financial and moral assistance to their native Gerakion.

At this very first meeting thirty-three became charter members, and from these thirty-three $850 was collected as a fund to build a church in their native town. The name of the Society is E Koimisis Tis Theotokou.

All Gerakiotes in Chicago are invited to attend the next meeting of the Society, which will take place at 3103 South State Street tomorrow, Saturday, at 7 P. M.

The temporary officers elected were Mr. Nicholas Protopapas, president, Mr. Geo. Lissaris, treasurer, and Mr. N. Kontaxis, secretary.
