This was "just another happening" at that greatest of Kytherian-Brisbane events, which was held on Sunday the 15th April, 2007, from 11:30 - 5:00pm.

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
