This year's SPAZ Christmas Bazaar was our most successful ever! We would like to thank those that made it so fabulous. Click on any image below to enlarge. |
Many thanks to Beth Athanassiadou,Sr. CAS Coordinator of the Inter-Baccalaureate
Diploma Programme at Geitonas School in Vari for arranging the sale of SPAZ raffle
tickets in the school with her students. The ten students that took part collected a
grand total of 678 Euros. SPAZ thanks them for doing such a great job.
They are:
Padeli Chamogeorgakis, Christos Sidiropoulos, Nikos Drossos, Vretti Xintarakou,
Marietta Tzavara, Penelope Spanou, Michael Trontzos, Natalia Bolou, Villi Ieremia,
Iliana Tsardaloglou
We are pleased to announce that PADELI CHAMOGEORGAKI won one of the
autographed soccer footballs from Panathinaikos.
Our SPAZ Booth featured our 2010 calendar, which was a big hit this year. Thanks to Lucille and Dimitra for all their hard work on putting it together. We also had CDs with recipes for cat & dog food, created by Sia, as well as cards, SPAZ t-shirts, raffle tickets, and lots of miscellaneous donated items. Athens News and Athens Plus donated free copies of their newspapers which we also gave out (thanks to both of them). |
We are very proud of our beautiful 2010 calendar! |
Marietta, Kathy and Bill helped out at the SPAZ booth |
Elizabeth and Lucille took time out from selling for a hug; they've been working together in SPAZ for over 20 years! |
A gathering of some of the SPAZ team - left to right: Vassi, Elizabeth, Alice-Ann, Lucille, Nikki |
Alice-Anne organizes the monasteraki table which is always placed near the entrance. |
The SPAZ monasteraki table is always one of our best money-makers and we thank Alice-Anne, who has been organizing and running it for about 15 years, and her team of workers, including her husband. |
There is always a rush of people around the monasteraki table.....a really crazy scene. Everyone loves it because it is full of bargains and treasures at ridiculously low prices. As they say, one person's junk is another person's treasure. |
We had over 100 prizes in the raffle this year, thanks to the determination of Nikki Clainos and her team of helpers. If you look at our supporters page, you will see a complete list of all the companies, stores and individuals who donated gifts. Thank you...thank you..to all of them. Please support them in return. We also appreciate and thank the students at Geitonas and St. Lawrence for selling raffle tickets for us. |
Panathinaikos, Olympiakos and AEK donated a number of items - balls, t-shirts, etc. They were all signed by the members of the Greek soccer teams. Thanks to Ulrika Edler for organizing and collecting all the autographed soccer team articles; they were wonderful gifts and helped make the raffle our most successful ever. |
Nikki Clainos was the SPAZ Bazaar Coordinator this year and did a fantastic job. Yes...she was on the phone a lot. |
Tara did a great job doing face painting on children. |
There were booths outside as well as inside and we had a number of other charities selling items for their groups; SPAZ always offers free space to other charities. |
The International Food Booth was very popular as usual, thanks to Joanna and her team. This year we also had a tent for patrons to sit down and enjoy their coffee and cake or lunch; thanks to Fofi for organizing that. |
Fofi and Tzela were the cashiers in the refreshment area |
We added a chocolate fountain this year for the children but it also appealed to older chocolate lovers |
Our hot dog team made superb hot dogs, as usual. |
And now, a word from those for whom we work.... We had a great time at the SPAZ bazaar this year. Everyone paid lots of attention to us and took our pictures and made a big fuss of us. That was nice. But we realize that there is a very serious side to this bazaar. You need to make money to continue helping dogs and cats in need, and we want to thank you for all of them. All of us live with really nice humans but we know that there are many more out there not as lucky as us. Please SPAZ, keep working for us. We need you. |
Beau - "This is my picture in the calendar - I'm July! I'm famous." |
"That's me in the boy's arms. I'm only 40 days old and I like to be hugged. I liked the bazaar a lot." |
"I'm the only kitten at this bazaar. It's really noisy here but I feel safe in my friends arms. Can we go home soon." |
"Hi, I'm Scotty and I hate to be held and I'm not too crazy about getting my picture taken either...but there are a lot of nice people here so I'll try and smile." |
"My name is Harris and I live with Efie (who ran the tomboula booth for SPAZ) and I like having my picture taken. Thank you SPAZ. I'm having fun today." |
"I'm Ziggy and I won a porcelain tea set in the raffle! I'm not sure what to do with it but I'll think of something. Thank you SPAZ. |
"I'm working outside with my friend helping to raise money for SPAZ. I don't know much about them but they seem like a nice group. Oh, my name is Lady. I hear they help dogs so I hope they do well." |
"Someone came up to me and asked to take my picture so I posed. I'm not sure what a bazaar is but it sure is busy here. I heard that they help dogs (Lady told me) so that's good. My name is Marko." |
