ATTENTION: THE VENUE FOR THE 2012 PANIGYRI HAS BEEN CHANGED
In honor of our beloved member John Carvounnis, who passed away on July 24, 2012, we have changed the venue for this year's luncheon from the Ascension Cathedral in Oakland to Resurrection Greek Orthodox Church in Castro Valley. John's wonderful smile and never-ending love and enthusiam for the island will be missed by all. We will be remembering John at this year's luncheon.
On a brighter note, we are happy to announce that we will be featuring a photo exhibition straight from Kythera! Dimitris Baltzis, from ilovekythera.com, has agreed to allow us to exhibit some of his fabulous photos of the island. If you are not familiar with his photography, you are in for a real treat. He is a very talented photographer who has a sincere love for the island. His photo have been exhibited around Greece this summer in an effort to promote tourism on the island. He is thrilled to have the opportunity to share some of his photos with us.
Remember, you need not be Kytherian to attend our Panigyri! We encourage you to invite your friends, your family, and bring your children to this year’s luncheon. In honor of John Carvounnis, children 12 and under will eat free of charge.
The Links page has just been updated with several new websites that may be of interest to everyone. If you have recommendations for other websites to add to our page, please email them to me at vikki@ksoca.com.
