The Federation of Greek Elderly Citizen Clubs of Melbourne and Victoria will, for the first time, host an information stall at Melbourne’s Antipodes Festival, inviting the community to connect with its work and members.
The stall will operate across the festival weekend on Saturday, 28 February and Sunday, 1 March, in Melbourne’s CBD, where the annual event attracts more than 150,000 visitors. The festival is organised by the Greek Community of Melbourne.
In a statement, the Federation encouraged members and the wider community to visit the stall, where representatives will be available to share information about the organisation’s activities and to meet visitors in person.
President Betty Exintaris OAM said volunteers are also welcome to assist at the stall throughout the weekend. Those interested in helping are encouraged to contact her directly on 0447 101 922.
The Federation also confirmed it will take part in Melbourne’s Greek Independence Day Parade on Sunday, March 22, marking the anniversary of 25 March 1821. Members and supporters have been urged to attend and show their support for the community’s continued visibility and unity.
The Federation represents Greek elderly citizens’ clubs across Melbourne and Victoria and plays an active role in promoting social participation, cultural continuity and community engagement among older members of the Greek Australian community.
