The Hellenic Writers' Group of Washington DC attended the St. George Greek Orthodox Church Festival on May 5-7, 2017. Members that sold their books there were: Dr. Peter Paras, Calliopi Toufidou, Maria Antokas, Patty Apostolides, and Dr. Aphrodite Matsakis. Members that came to support our efforts were: Steven Galanis, Dr. Polyvia Parara, Dr. Nicholas Patronas, Lefteris Karmiris, and Dr. E. Stassinopoulos. We met many people, and rekindled old friendships, and overall, everyone had a wonderful experience! OPA!!
Next to our booth was the Grand Hall. Below, you can see how packed it was during the Greek Dancing. The buffet line was to the right and the pastries and coffee were in the back. The Greek band was playing on the left. So everything was concentrated in one place, but the enthusiasm and joy was evident.
