Looking ahead, we are thrilled to announce that in two weeks, our group will be performing at our Syllogo to live music from Crete, featuring George Maggelakis and George Manolioudis. The event will take place on Saturday, May 16th, at 7:00 PM.

Please see the attached flyer for further details. This is a very popular event, and seats are expected to fill up quickly, so we encourage you to secure yours soon. All proceeds from this event will be directly allocated to our roof fund.

We hope to see you all there to support our dancers and enjoy a wonderful night of music and community.

Today, we had a wonderful Easter Egg Hunt and Breakfast for our kids! Everyone enjoyed a delicious breakfast prepared by our very own George Plevritis. The children had a great time coloring Easter eggs, participating in an exciting egg hunt, and taking part in a fun scavenger hunt around the syllogo.

We were delighted by a special appearance from our dancing Easter Bunny! Our club President, Manolis Xenakis, treated everyone to ice cream, which was a big hit.

Everyone had a fantastic time! A very special thank you to George Plevritis and Maria Nikoloudakis, who put in so much time and effort to make this a fun and memorable event that everyone enjoyed!

We wish everyone a Happy Easter!

Σήμερα είχαμε ένα υπέροχο Κυνήγι Πασχαλινών Αυγών και Πρωινό για τα παιδιά μας! Όλοι απόλαυσαν ένα νόστιμο πρωινό που ετοίμασε ο Γιώργος Πλευρίτης. Τα παιδιά διασκέδασαν βάφοντας πασχαλινά αυγά, συμμετέχοντας σε ένα συναρπαστικό κυνήγι αυγών και παίρνοντας μέρος σε ένα διασκεδαστικό κυνήγι θησαυρού γύρω από τον σύλλογο.

Μας ενθουσίασε η ξεχωριστή εμφάνιση του χορευτικού Πασχαλινού Λαγού! Ο Πρόεδρος του συλλόγου μας, Μανώλης Ξενάκης, κέρασε όλους παγωτό, το οποίο άρεσε πολύ σε όλους.

Περάσαμε όλοι φανταστικά! Ένα πολύ μεγάλο ευχαριστώ στον Γιώργο Πλευρίτη και τη Μαρία Νικολουδάκη, που αφιέρωσαν τόσο χρόνο και προσπάθεια για να γίνει αυτή η όμορφη και αξέχαστη εκδήλωση που απόλαυσαν όλοι!

Καλή Ανάσταση και Καλό Πάσχα σε όλους!!

Today we visited the Greek residents of St. Michael’s Home and had a truly wonderful day spending time together. A Karagiozi skit was written and performed by our dear 7-year-old Yianni Kasimis, with the help of his uncle and board member George Plevritis, and the residents absolutely loved it. Our beautiful girls from the older dance group also danced several Cretan dances for everyone to enjoy.

Live Cretan music was performed by Greg Manouselakis and Chris Fasarakis, President of the Omonoia Chapter, creating a warm and enjoyable atmosphere. All of the residents appreciated the music, and some joined in for a fun kalamatiano.

It was a special day filled with warmth, culture, and community. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us today, and a special thank you to Fay Lambrakos for organizing this trip on behalf of the Cretan Brotherhood.
