The Lotos Club was founded as a gentleman's club in New York City; it has since also admitted women as members. Its founders were primarily a young group of writers and critics. Mark Twain, an early member, called it the "Ace of Clubs". The Club took its name from the poem "The Lotos-Eaters" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, which was then very popular. Lotos was thought to convey an idea of rest and harmony. Two lines from the poem were selected for the Club motto:The Lotos Club has always had a literary and artistic bent, with the result that it has accumulated a noted collection of American paintings. Its "State Dinners" (1893 menu at right) are legendary fetes for scholars, artists and sculptors, collectors and connoisseurs, writers and journalists, and politicians and diplomats. Elaborate souvenir menus are produced for these dinners.The Lotos Club's first home was at Two Irving Place, off of 14th Street near the Academy of Music. Journalist DeWitt Van Buren was the Lotos Club's first president; he was succeeded by A. Oakey Hall. Other early Club officers included Vice President F.A. Schwab, Secretary George Hows, and Treasurer Albert Weber. New York Tribune editor Whitelaw Reid was elected Club president in 1877,at which time the Lotos Club moved to 149 Fifth Avenue at 21st Street.In 1893, the Club moved to 556-558 Fifth Avenue at 46th Street, purchasing their first clubhouse.It was at the Lotos Club in 1906 that George Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly, sent up his first trial balloon by proposing Woodrow Wilson for the office of President of the United States. In 1909, with financial backing from Andrew Carnegie, the clubhouse was moved to 110 West 57th Street, in a building designed by architect Donn Barber.

The Arsenal is a symmetrical brick building with modestly Gothic Revival details, located in Central Park, New York City, centered on 64th Street off Fifth Avenue. Built between 1847 and 1851 as a storehouse for arms and ammunition for the New York State Militia, the building predates the design and construction of Central Park, where only the Blockhouse (1814) is older.The Arsenal was designed by Martin E. Thompson (1786–1877), originally trained as a carpenter, who had been a partner of Ithiel Town and went on to become one of the founders of the National Academy of Design. Thompson's symmetrical structure of brick in English bond, with headers every fifth course, presents a central block in the manner of a fortified gatehouse flanked by half-octagonal towers. The carpentry doorframe speaks of its purpose with an American eagle displayed between stacks of cannonballs over the door, and crossed sabers and stacked pikes represented in flanking panels.The building currently houses the offices of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and the Central Park Wildlife Conservation Center, but it has also served as a zoo and housed a portion of the American Museum of Natural History's collections while its permanent structure was being erected. During the course of its lifetime it has also housed a police precinct, a weather bureau, and an art gallery.

Eleni's Pop of Color ("EPOC") is a non-profit outreach program providing scarves to patients undergoing active chemotherapy treatment. EPOC was born out of a desire to provide those enduring the difficulties of chemotherapy with a little bit of comfort in very uncomfortable times. The program was first conceived by Eleni Vavas, a physician, wife, mother, daughter, sister and most importantly a self-proclaimed "cancer fighter". As Eleni persevered through chemo treatments, she struggled with the realities of the side effects that chemotherapy caused. Eleni started wearing scarves, mostly around her neck to cover her mediport, draw people's attention away from her short hair, provide a bit of extra warmth as she struggled to maintain her weight and most importantly as she put it "to add a little pop of color". She always said that she was comforted by how the scarves made her feel. While undergoing treatments, Eleni began working with hospital administrators at North Shore University Hospital to create EPOC. It was Eleni's desire that others going through chemotherapy would be able to enjoy that same bit of comfort she felt when she wrapped herself in those scarves. To continue Eleni’s legacy and vision, EPOC continues its outreach within the North Shore/LIJ Health System. An EPOC scarf is much more than just an accessory. It serves as a badge of honor and as a reminder of the unbreakable human spirit and unwavering strength of the soul within. Almost equally as important is the hope that each EPOC scarf will inspire discussions and promote awareness. *EPOC is sponsored by The Eleni Vavas Memorial Fund which received tax exempt status 501 (c)(3) in September 2015.

Sharing our research findings through conferences and publications. Challenging the dominant LGBTQ bullying discourse- It's not about "bad" kids who bully. It's about a culture that targets gender and sexual difference for marginalization and ridicule and implicitly gives permission to target LGBTQ kids. We address these issues through critical sociology of education using the critical theory approach of Phil Carspecken (1996).

The Knickerbocker Greys, founded in 1881, is the oldest after school activity for boys and girls ages 6 to 16. Cadets are afforded opportunities over the years to develop their character, confidence, perseverance, social skills, and problem solving in a manner unlike any other found in New York City and likely the country. The group’s name was derived from the original uniform’s knee-length pants that were known as "knickerbockers,” and the color of the dress uniform, “Cadet Grey.” Over 4,500 New Yorkers have been members of the Knickerbocker Grey Cadet Corps over the past 134 years, including Nelson and David Rockefeller, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Pierpont Morgan Hamilton, Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., John Lindsay, and Lowell Thomas. Today, the Greys are a part of living history and still proudly drill at the landmarked Seventh Regiment Armory on Park Avenue at 66th Street. Boys and girls from a diverse cross section of public, private and parochial schools throughout New York City have participated in the Knickerbocker Greys. Confidence building starts the first day of drill. The main focus of each weekly meeting, led by a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve and his young officers, is to instill in each cadet a sense of self-discipline, leadership, compassion, and orderliness. As cadets master Drill and Ceremony, they become self-assured in their own abilities. Drill includes, marching, crack company, and posting of the Colors at patriotic events. As cadets rise through the ranks they develop confidence and leadership as they instruct the younger cadets. Each rank, from private to cadet colonel has new leadership challenges. Cadets look forward to participation in various field trips, as well as, historical and civic events. All of the activities ensure that the cadets develop an esprit de corps. The corps of cadets has traditional dine-ins and reviews each year at both the Seventh Regiment Armory’s Drill Hall and other historical venues in Manhattan. Cadets receive leadership training and are given opportunities to be in leadership roles as squad leaders, company commanders, and staff officers. Cadets develop skills such as how to motivate others, empathy, patience, supervise junior cadets, and command a group of peers. These elements of leadership help the cadets in all areas of their school lives now and with their jobs, careers and families later in life. The discipline, orderliness, fairness and kindness that characterize the Greys experience are ideals that most parents want for their children, but there are few ways of imparting them in the usual after-school activities. Thanks to the Corps' leadership, the Greys are still one way for the children of New York City to develop those attributes.
