...crack Easter eggs together.

From the Neos Kosmos (Melbourne), p.16, Thursday 26th April, 2007, article:

Στη φωτογραφία ο καθηγητής Εμμανουήλ Αρώνης τσουγκρίζει πασχαλινό αυγό με την Κυβερνήτη της Κουηνσλάνδης κα. Quentin Bryce. Αριστερά τους βρίσκεται ο Εντιμότατος Πρόξενος της Ελλάδας Δη. Ράπτης ενώ δεξιά ο πρόεδρος του Κυθηριακού Συνδέσμου Κουηνσλάνδης Πήτερ Σάμιος

Ms Quentin Bryce really entered into the spirit of the great panayiri - the mega-event.

Mr Peter Samios, President of the Kytherian Association of Queensland Inc., looks on from the right.

Yanni Feros, (deceased 2001), resident of Mitata, with a perivoli at Paliopoli, looks down from "heaven" (left rear) - "heaven" is also known as the official banner of www.kythera-family.net

Many Kytherians & Philokytherians attended this greatest of Kytherian-Brisbane events which was held on Sunday the 15th April, 2007, from 11:30 - 5:00pm.

The venue was the Cyprus Club, also known as the
West End Club,

The event was held for 3 reasons:
1. to mark the official Queensland launch of www.kythera-family.net
2. to mark the official Queensland launch of Katsehamos and the Great Idea
3. to forge a new and inviolable union between the Kytherian Association of Queensland Inc, and the Kytherian Association of Australia, (ostensibly the Kytherian Association of NSW).

The occasion became known as the Brisbane panayiri and mega-event.

Ultimately, demand for seats was so high, that the event had to be moved from Kapsali Restaurant to the Cyprus Club.

Attendance was c. 500
