Devoted to Women from All Over the World

During over 30 years since its founding, our Club has been fostering friendship and mutual understanding among women of different nationalities and contributed to the cultural development of women in general.

The fulfillment of the aims of the Club has been effected by holding members' meetings, organizing educational, cultural, social and sports activities

FROM THE PRESIDENT

My dear friends,

lauraWhat a nice start to the New Year!

I am sure you did enjoy our Annual General Meeting as much as I did. It was such a lovely opportunity to see each other and catch up with our news especially after the long Christmas break and more so for me who missed our Christmas gathering in December. It was also a very nice chance to practice your dancing skills under Francesco’s rhythmical tunes – just in time for our carnival party next week in Psyrri!

Congratulations to the 13 Aphrodites who won the beautiful Vassilopitta’s gifts. I wish them Good Luck throughout the New Year.


Speaking of activities, Loukia and Evie have already prepared a wide variety of things to do that will suit your preferences but I can tell you that Meet My Country Special Wednesdays are on top of the list! So be ready for them and for so many other events, among them exciting local and foreign trips. You will know all about them very shortly. Organizing such events consumes a lot of time and effort and so I ask for your support, and more importantly, your participation!

Time flies as usual and February is approaching together with our General Meeting. This time our program is about the Special Olympics 2011, which will take you back to 2004 when the Lighting of the Olympic Flame – the Flame of Hope – revealed another world. Our Club contributed a lot to the 2004 Olympics and I am certain it will be the same this time with the Special Olympics. Special Ladies for a Special Purpose!

And here is a final note from me, since last year’s president Laura Panayotou extended so kindly our friendship contract for this year, too:

Friends are like balloons, once you let them go, you might not get them back.
Sometimes we get so busy with our lives and problems that we may not even notice that we’ve let them fly away.
Sometimes we are so caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong that we forget what’s right and wrong...
Sometimes we just don’t realize what real friendship means until it is too late.
I don’t want to let that happen so I’m going to tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

Na iste kala!
