Ascension Historical Committee
About AHC
The Ascension Historical Committee (AHC) was established in August 1989, with the endorsement of the Proistamenos and the Parish Council of the Ascension Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Oakland, California.
While we are partially funded by the Parish Council, our monetary obligations are also met by our March 25th Greek Independence Day Run & Walk fund raiser, by individual donations, and by the annual membership dues.
Our membership is composed mainly of second and third generation descendants of early immigrants.
We are dedicated to the documentation and preservation of the rich culture and heritage of Greek American history.
We remain ever mindful of the fact that we rob future generations of their heritage if we neglect our history.
The heritage of the past is the seed that brings forth the future.
