The Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee would like to thank the Committee and Members of Melbourne's Pontiaki Estia Club in Brunswick for their very successful fundraising event on behalf of the Lemnos Gallipoli cause.
Organised on their own initiative, the event was held last Friday, 29th August, was well attended and provided a night of amazing musical entertainment, traditional dancing, food and enjoyment.
The night was held to promote the link between Lemnos and Australia's Gallipoli story and to help raise funds for our memorial statue and book projects. It was particularly appropriate to hold this event and to recall the memory of Private Peter Rados, a digger from Asia Minor, who sadly was killed during the Gallipoli campaign and is buried at Anzac Cove.
The night also featured amazing music - including pontian and cretan traditional music. Special thanks to Joseph Tsombanopoulos and his fellow musicians for their great performance.
In addition, in recognition of Staff Sergeant Archibald Monk who piped the nurses onto Lemnos in August 1915 - 99 years ago - Bagpiper Allan Leggett performed some scottish highland pipe music, including that from the western isles of Scotland -the home of Piper Monk. listening to Allan and Joseph playing both Scottish and Pontian traditional bagpipes was an amazing experience, demonstrating these deep cultural links across generations.
A total of $4,100 was raised at the event, in addition to hundreds of dollars from the sale of our Committee's commemorative badges and posters. Well done!
Thank you to all the wonderful musicians who volunteered their time and performances to our fundraiser.
Below is a selection of photographs from this great evening.
We would express our heartfelt thanks to Litsa, Nick and the rest of the Committee for holding this great event.
Efharisto poli!

Since one is not bound by fixed working hours, they can schedule their work at the time when they feel most productive and convenient to them. Women & Men benefit a lot from this concept of work since they can balance their home and work perfectly. People mostly find that in this situation, their productivity is higher and stress levels lower. Those who like isolation and a tranquil work environment also tend to prefer this way of working. Today, with the kind of communication networks available, millions of people worldwide are considering this option.
Women & Men who want to be independent but cannot afford to leave their responsibilities at home aside will benefit a lot from this concept of work. It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too. You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline.

Since in today's competitive world both the parents have to work they need a secure place to leave behind their children who will take care of them and parents can also relax without being worried all the time. In this job you don't require any degree or qualifications. You only have to know how to take care of children. Parents are happy to pay handsome salary and you can also earn a lot without putting too much of an effort.
Nursery
