Anzac Commemorative Events, Sydney

On March 2015, the Lyceum Club of Greek Women of Lemnos was invited by the Hellenic Lyceum of Sydney and travelled to Australia to participate in the commemorative events for the centenary of the Gallipoli campaign that took place in Sydney. Our 20-member group took part in all the official commemorative celebrations organized by the Greek Embassy in Sydney as well as in a great music and dance performance held by the Hellenic Lyceum of Sydney. Our dance group also performed and participated in various events organized by the Greek Community and the Lemnian Association.
