A warm family atmosphere was enjoyed by all who attended this year’s Christmas Luncheon at Merrimu Receptions. 

With a record number of guests there was a real buzz in the room as members, families and friends caught up whilst enjoying Merrimu’s great hospitality, wonderful music by UNick , and a fabulous presentation of photos of 2019 events. Guests joined in a heart-warming celebration of the birthdays of senior members all whom celebrated birthdays in their 90s during 2019!

Congratulations to the Events Committee for organising such a successful day. Thanks to all who attended and helped make our end of year celebration such a memorable day.

An enormously successful ‘Biggest Morning Tea' was held at the Club rooms on Thursday 16 May to raise fund for the Cancer Council.

A big thank you to all who attended and to those who sent donations.

$5,215 was raised for the Cancer Council which included a generous donation by the Ithacan Philanthropic Society.

It was a fun morning with games and prizes. Trivia tested attendees' knowledge of all things Greek and a round of bingo capped off the morning. 

Thanks to Anna Vlass and Loula Coutsouvelis who, once again, did an amazing job organising this fundraising event.

A big thank you to all who supported our Royal Children's Hospital Fundraising effort. Your generosity is much appreciated.

Our fundraising kicked off in February at the Annual Picnic where entry donations ($1003.10) and sale of souvlaki sticks ($393.00) raised a total of $1396.10. An additional $3370 was raised at the recent RCH Appeal Fundraiser afternoon through door proceeds, donations and raffle sales. A capacity crowed enjoyed a lively afternoon and a delicious afternoon tea.
