Katina Feros, (deceased 2003), resident of Mitata, with a perivoli at Paliopoli, looks down from "heaven" (rear, over Helen's righ shoulder) - "heaven" is also known as the official banner of www.kythera-family.net
Note the superb banner of the Kytherian Association of Queensland Inc, with a map of the island of Kythera, also in the background.
In fact - the whole event was a "crack-up".

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
