Dear friends/members of the Hellenic Community of Ireland,

First and above all please accept our best and heartfelt wishes from all of us in the Hellenic Community Committee to all of you for a very happy and pleasant Christmas and New Year.

The present Committee having completed its two-year tenure, we are calling for an Annual General Meeting, combined with elections on Sunday January 25th 2009, 13.00 – 15.00 hours in our School Hall. The session will be divided into two: the present Committee will initially (13.00 – 14.15) present an activity and financial report, which would have been circulated beforehand, to be followed with a full and open discussion. Elections will then complete the session

We would like you all to circulate through myself any proposals you may have for the discussion as well as any nominations for the Committee by Sunday January 11th to give us ample time to circulate everything to the entire membership list.

Full and Associate members (paid up) of the Hellenic Community will take part in the AGM – however, the latter will have speaking but no voting rights. Existing members may renew their membership and pay the 2009 dues on the day at the door. However new friends who may wish to join and take part will have to let us know a week before so that we can prepare our lists.

Looking forward to a good and productive year

Best regards,

Michael Youlton (Vice-President)

PS: Following the liturgy at 12.30 we will have a small Vasilopita (St Basil’s pie) event for all in the School Hall
