We have finally arrived at the twelfth month of 2022! It’s been a long road, but not quite as difficult as the two previous years and we have so many things to look back on and be thankful for!
Our annual Thanksgiving luncheon went live again this year. Held at the Divani Caravel Hotel on November 24, it was very well-attended with 49 AWOG members, families and friends present to partake of the traditional American Thanksgiving fare. The Divani Caravel chef and his assistants did not leave us disappointed!
Below are some photos from this event.
For more photos, please check the AWOG website under PHOTO GALLERY.
The BIG news for December is the AWOG Christmas Bazaar, live once again for the first time since 2019. AWOG Board members have been working with the Divani Caravel Hotel since early July to prepare the Ilissos Ballroom and the foyer outside it for this big event.
Along with the lotteries (3 this year), the very beautifully set up food court and the appearance of Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus, there will also be seven not-for-profit organizations selling their products.
They include:
ARGO, ANTHIZO, BORYSTHENES (UKRAINIAN WOMEN OF GREECE), FRIENDS OF AGHIOI ANARGYROI, LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND, THE OPEN DOOR, and PEAND.
We are looking forward to a successful bazaar so that, once again, AWOG can help many of the charities in Greece it has supported throughout the years. Come, bring your children and grandchildren, your friends, your neighbors and support the cause!
See you there on December 11th from 11:00-16:00.
During this festive season of giving, let us take the time to slow down to enjoy the simple things. HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all!
