Message from the President: Family, Friends and Fellow Members,
On behalf of the members of the NYPD Saint Paul's Society, I would like to welcome you all to our Annual Scholarship Dinner Dance. Tonight, is a very special night for our Society. We hope that you enjoy this joyous occasion which will be filled with great dancing, great music, and of course, great people. The NYPD Saint Paul's Society was formed in 1958, when the founders of our order recognized the need for an organization that could help bring officers of Greek origin and the Orthodox faith together. Since then, our Society has continued to grow. Today, we not only have Police Officers in our ranks, but also Detectives, Sergeants, Lieutenants, Captains, and Inspectors. It is a true testament to how we have grown as a Society and as Greek Americans serving in the best police department in the world. Tonight we are very proud to honor Inspector Anthony Gazis, Commanding Officer of the NYPD Medical Division. Serving in many different units within the Housing Police and NYPD during his 30 years of service, his biggest challenge was facing a worldwide pandemic. With no experience or history to learn from, Inspector Gazis pushed forward and did everything in his power to keep the men and women of the NYPD healthy and safe - allowing them to fulfill their mission in protecting the citizens of New York City. This task earns him the title of Man of the Year. This evening, will we also be posthumously honoring Detective Anastasios Tsakos. As we all know we lost a true friend and protector a little over a year ago. This evening, to eternally honor his memory, we will be creating the Detective Anastasios Tsakos Service Scholarship Award, which will be presented to a student who personifies both Detective Tsakos’ Greek pride and his commitment and dedication to service. In closing, I would like to thank the board, the membership, and all those who donated their time to make this night an absolute success. I would also like to thank those who contributed to our scholarship fund. Your generous donations help our children in their pursuit of academic success. Congratulations to all our scholarship recipients. We wish you continued success and good luck in your future endeavors. Fraternally, Nicholas Biancoviso, President, NYPD Saint Paul's Society
