Breast Cancer Benefit Dance

by Catherine Tsounis


The holiday season is a time to give and not to receive. The St. John's University Greek club held their 2nd Annual Dinner Dance on Sunday, Nov. 19th, in Ricardo's By The Bridge, at 21-03 24th Ave. in Astoria, New York. All proceeds were donated to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Breast Cancer Department. A D.J., excellent food and a raffle made the evening enjoyable. Koula Sopasis of Greek Radio 365 was an honored guest.
"Community service is part of our college experience at St. John's," said Greek Club President Irene Zouroudis. "Our society is involved in philanthropic causes, besides having fun." The SJU Greek Club was responsible for the fabulous success of the St. John's University Second Annual Evening of Greek Cuisine and Culture on October 13, 2006 that attracted 300 persons. Their hard work, organization skills contributed to a remarkable evening.
