Christmas Bazaar 2008

The 9th Christmas Bazaar organized by the Cretan International Community, was a great success and we are already starting the preparations for next year! Before moving on…we want to say "What would we have done without you?"

To the Volunteers - Your help went far beyond what anyone had hoped for and we are grateful to each and every one of you who volunteered their skills and sacrificed a considerable portion of their personal time to help. Consider us deeply in your debt!

To the Donors and Sponsors - Any item, gift or service you donated reflects on your kindness and generosity and contributed to the major success of the event.

To the Visitors - Your participation went far beyond what we had expected. We wish to extend our most sincere thanks to everybody who visited, participated, shopped, donated, had fun, networked, met friends, ate, listened to music, chatted, bought a balloon, renewed their membership, joined our community as new members, or bought our newsletter. Your presence means a great deal to all of us!

To the Vendors - Thank you for supporting us this year again. Your suggestions were as helpful as they were welcome.

We appreciate, we acknowledge, we treasure and with a deep sense of gratitude we say THANK YOU.

Alone, we are able to do so little and together we can do so much” Helen Keller.

Your generous donation of 5000 euros was greatly appreciated and enables us to continue our efforts to support families of children with cancer.

Your successful Christmas bazaar emphasizes your spirit of community involvement and together we can make a difference.

We would like to thank each one of you separately and your organization for your hard work.

Cretan hospitality in our community is well known and we want you to feel you will always be part of our Cretan family.

The President and members of ORIZONTAS as well as the Cretan community wish you and your families health, peace and a creative year.

The President
Spiros Adontakis
