The Society of Kalamata 23 March in Melbourne held a successful dinner dance on Saturday, March 21 at Vogue Ballroom.
The dance was held to commemorate the 205th anniversary of the liberation of the first Greek city from Ottoman rule, Kalamata.
Over 350 people attended and enjoyed themselves until the early hours, with music curated by the renowned DJ Peter B. The dance also featured entertainment from Pegasus Dance Academy.
The event’s success is owed to the tireless voluntary efforts of the Board members and their love for their place of origin.
They once again demonstrated that Kalamata unites Messinians in Melbourne and rightly holds a place in their hearts, symbolising the unity of the community.
The society has also maintained close ties for some time with Kalamata’s football team, with its president and owner, George Prassas, sending a message which was read out by the Association’s president, Sam Vlachos.
After Easter, the society is planning a major celebratory event to mark Kalamata FC’s promotion to Greece’s Super League 1. The location and date of this event will be announced shortly.
