Special Presentations to George Georgopoulos and FJ Hurtak

Two special presentations were made at last evening's Council Meeting to honour those responsible for the Annual Seniors' Christmas Dinner.

Mayor Stetski recounted the annecdote of how, many years ago when George could not afford to return to Greece for his parents funeral, he resolved to do something to honour them.  The Annual Seniors Christmas Dinner was born. 

Initially it was completely funded by George of the Apollo Restaurant and it was held at the Inn of the South(now the Heritage Inn) for many years.  As it grew, larger premises were required and it has now been held at the Colombo Lodge for several years.  With FJ Hurtak's assistance for entertainment and coordination, as well as the Cranbrook Rotary Club, the tradition is one of Cranbrook's finest. The Rotary Club has now agreed to take over the event as George retires.


CONGRATULATIONS GEORGE and FJ
 and
 MANY HEARTFELT THANKS FROM THE COMMUNITY



F J Hurtak, Mayor Stetski and George Georgegopoulos
