SNAPSHOTS FROM OUR ANNUAL EVENT AT THE ELDER CARE UNIT OF AGIA MARINA
=======================================================
We’re very happy to share moments from our annual event held at the Elder Care Unit of Agia Marina. It was a heartwarming evening, attended by a gathering of elders living at the Unit, local officials, and many Kardamylites—including many of our own members.

As part of the Event, we presented awards to the top-performing graduating students from Kardamyla’s High School and Senior High Schools. Their outstanding academic achievements are a testament to their dedication and hard work. Maria – Panagiota Papazi (Junior High), Thekla Papazi and Theodora Tselika (High School – ΓΕΛ), Ekaterini Kaliva and Nikolaos Stratilas (High School – ΕΠΑΛ).

Many thanks to the Orchestra of the Chian Brigade of the Hellenic Army, which, as every year, provided music and entertainment.

And a heartfelt thank you to the staff of the facility for their invaluable support, and especially to Mr. Markos Melitzanis, whose efforts were instrumental in making the event a resounding success.
