This event raises the necessary funds to send underprivileged and special needs children to various summer camps for an experience they would not otherwise have and also supports the Educational Assistance Program for children’s scholastic needs throughout the school year.
The evening commenced with cocktails at 6:30pm in the elegant setting of the Peacock Alley where multiple activities were taking place, such as a silent auction, open bar, oyster bar and a wine tasting bar hosted by Chris Dedes featuring Greek wines. The guests were later ushered into the magnificent Windsor Ballroom for dinner and dancing with musical entertainment by international singer Nitza Melas, accompanied by Alexandros and his band.
The classic setting and décor of the ballroom created a sophisticated ambience. Opera Chef Davide Bazzali was auctioned off in an animated live auction by CJAD’s Elias Makos, auctioneer and MC for the evening. The evening closed on a very successful note with great prizes and lots of Greek dancing!
Distinguished guests were:
Senator Leo Housakos and his lovely wife Demi, Emmanuella Lambropoulos, MP for Saint Laurent, Michalis Gavriilidis, Consul General of Greece, Mary Deros, City Councillor and her husband Peter, and Nicholas Pagonis, President of the Hellenic Community of Greater Montreal.
