This year we have chosen two worthy charities to be the recipients of a portion of the Dionysos Greek Festival proceeds.
Vine Neighborhood Association
The Vine Neighborhood Association, Inc. (VINE) exists to improve the overall quality of life in the Vine Neighborhood.
VINE achieves its mission by: Building long-term residency, encouraging the renovation and preservation of historic homes, supporting economic success, enhancing safety and security, reducing density, promoting volunteer activism, and building community by joining neighbors together.
Since 1980, the Vine Neighborhood Association has been advocating for its residents. We are here to serve the neighborhood and our neighborhood including tenants, homeowners and businesses. We welcome people to contact us and are especially happy to assist new residents and those considering moving to the historic VINE Neighborhood. Our office attempts to assist in every possible situation from home renovation, historic preservation, beautification, crime prevention, youth programs and especially community building events. Most of Vine is a designated historic district. Historic District Tax credits are available for interior and exterior renovation.
Portage Aquatic Club
Portage Aquatic Club (PAC) is a community based competitive swim team that services swimmers from Portage, Kalamazoo, Mattawan, and other surrounding areas. Currently, PAC has over 135 swimmers, ranging in age from 6 years old through high school, that participate in the sport of swimming at the local age group level as well as the national USA level. It is the goal of PAC to promote the sport of swimming and provide a positive experience to all interested individuals and to help these athletes improve their skills with top-notch coaching and training. Fundraising efforts help our club to meet these goals. We are grateful to Dionysos Greek Fest for selecting Portage Aquatic Club to be this years charitable organization.
