ADDITIONAL THANKS -- APOKRIATIKO / MARDI GRAS: We try to remember everyone who volunteers for our church events and most recently our Apokriatiko Glendi which took place last weekend. Sometimes we unintentionally omit the name of a volunteer. Most times this happens because the Sunday Bulletin for the morning after a Saturday night event is already finished, printed, and emailed before the event even begins. Please know that we send heartfelt thanks to all who volunteered and donated. We repeat our thanks to all those who were acknowledged and whose names were listed in last Sunday's Bulletin. We would like to give thanks and appreciation to the following volunteers whose names did not appear in last Sunday's Bulletin: Much appreciation is expressed to Rose Foussekis who worked so hard throughout the Apokriatiko event in the kitchen as well as serving the deliciously prepared meals, and then she stayed very late after the event ended and continued to help. We also give our heartfelt thanks to Theodore Campos, Evan Dokos, and Andreas Dokos who were part of our team of Goyans who helped with serving the delicious meals enjoyed by all. We would like to again mention that we are truly thankful to all who supported this event. We especially appreciate all who attended and enjoyed a magical evening filled with faith, fellowship, and fun as well as dancing and listening to live music featuring Georgios Karatzas and the Athenian Entertainment orchestra. Our Mardi Gras dance was a completely sold-out event left with standing room only. It was a great success for our church community!!! It was an amazing night to remember!!!
