The St George Greek Senior Citizens Group held their annual Christmas party on Thursday, December 13 at the St George Bank community hall.
The lunch was a huge success and a few prominent politicians were able to attend including Mayor Kevin Greene, Barton MP Linda Burney, Rockdale MP Steve Kamper and Kogarh MP Chris Minns.
The group’s executive committee includes president Con Giouroukos, secretary Jim Staikos and treasurer John Theodoropoulos.
The group have been operating for over 15 years and gave thanks on the day to the founding member Bill Ziaziaris who established the committee.
“This organisation have over 70 senior members who come together every Wednesday and Thursday from 12noon to 4pm to play backgammon, cards and bingo,” Mr Theodoropoulos said.
“It has not only given them purpose but has allowed many to form lasting friendships within the community.”
