Cathy Calokerinos was speaking to a packed audience
at the formal dinner to celebrate the inception of the Canberra cafe - and the recent renovations completed there.
The dinner was held in the Skylight Restaurant on 30th March, 2013. The dinner began at 7:00 pm.
It was beautifully laid out, and catered for about 140 people. Others were served in the Canberra cafe next door.
Master of Ceremonies for the evening was Sandy Allan.
A special guest was the Mayor Tamworth Regional Council - Col Murray.
Cathy Calokerinos spoke first and thanked everyone for coming (some having travelled large distances) on behalf of the Calokerinos family.
There was a great deal of 'kefi' and 'filotimo' at the venue, and some of the speeches delivered were heart-rendering.
