Vasilopita Night 2009
Our second annual Vasilopita night
for 2009 took place on Jan. 30 2009 at Elgreco greek taverna place. This year we had almost 50 people attending the event including our guests from Ahepa and other visiting people that honored us with their participation and help. The big winner of the night, as the photos show, was our guest Mr. Angelou.

On April 28 2008 our members celebrated the Greek Orthodox Easter at County Line at the hills. As expected (see "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" for more details ;-) ), the day was full of BBQ food, easter eggs, some really really delicious deserts made by the young missies of our association (thank you girls for your nice treat!) and endless conversations about everything.
B-B-Q at Salt-lick, Austin
On February 24 2008, a small but hungry enough group of people met at Salt-lick B-B-Q for a meat feast!!! The short story is that the weather was great, the food was amazing and the spirit really high... what else could someone ask for a great sunday?

On January 25 2008, we organized a vasilopita night at Elgreco greek taverna place. Almost 40 members of our association attended the event which ended with the cut of the traditional vasilotipa made by one of our members, the amazing cook Louiza Fouli!

Irene teaching to students how to dance some of the well known Greek dances ;-).
