Community Leader Peter Pappas to Be Honored at MMC Third Annual Golf Tournament
 |
 (New York, N.Y.) On Monday, September 18, Marymount Manhattan College will honor New York business leader Peter Pappas at its Third Annual Golf Tournament. This year's tournament will be held at the prestigious Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y., home of the 2006 United States Open. Proceeds from the tournament will go to priority needs for the College. Originally scheduled for August 28 and rained out, the tournament was rescheduled for September 18.
Mr. Pappas is the CEO/President of P.J. Mechanical Corp. and owner of Delta Sheet Metal and Expert Insulation. A leader in the construction business for over 35 years, Mr. Pappas's work has made a lasting impression on a variety of landmark New York City buildings, including the Time Warner Center and the renovated Chrysler Building. He has also demonstrated his commitment to education as national chairman of the Cyprus Children's Fund, which awards scholarships to children who demonstrate academic excellence and financial need. A devoted member of the Greek-American community of New York, Mr. Pappas recently opened the well-reviewed Greek restaurant, Parea, located in the Flatiron District.
"Mr. Pappas is a valued community leader, a successful businessman and a devoted educator," said Judson R. Shaver, Ph.D., president of Marymount Manhattan College. "The College is honored to award him with MMC's 2006 Leadership Award."
This year's golf tournament is co-chaired by Richard Barbakoff (Jay Richards Security), Paul Ciraulo (Marymount Manhattan College), Helen Demetrios '73, Dom Lavin (Aramark), Christine Nevin Meloro '74 (ConEdison Solutions), and Peggy O'Brien '94. The day will begin with registration, buffet lunch and warm-up at 11:00 a.m., followed by a shotgun start at 1:00 p.m. A cocktail reception and dinner, where Mr. Pappas will receive the Leadership Award, will follow the tournament.
