The lunch marked the end of one more year of the activities and fitness and wellness program of the organization. 

The air was festive but there was touch of sadness this year due to the demise some of our much valued members. However, our members cherish fond memories the members we have lost and the many years of their dedicated service to the community and their contribution will always be remembered and honoured.

The President of the Greek Orthodox Community of SA Inc, Mr Peter Gardiakos also attended the lunch and was accompanied by Mr. Stephen Pallaras Former Director of Public Prosecutions

Hoping to see everyone once again on the 13^th of February 2024, at the Goodwood Community Centre, when we will resume once again our fitness and wellness program.

reformer and writer.

advocating for women’s rights.” The afternoon concluded with a memorable group photo at the steps of the Parliament House, similar to a photo taken in 1990 with then MLC, Julian Stefani.

“We are very grateful for the invitation to visit Parliament House, because the women will have a wonderful memory of their visit, which will stay with them forever,” Greek Women’s Society President, Chrisoula Heisler said.
