Community Meeting Room

Thousands of years later we are still fascinated by the ancient Greeks: their gods, myths, and fables. Join us today to discuss why!

History comes alive on this ramble across Greece from the sun-drenched islands of Homer’s “wine-dark seas” to the wind-swept crags of Mt. Olympus to learn how Greece became the “Cradle of Western Civilization.”

Don't miss this afternoon's talk - Mr. Sepsas is a community favorite!

Registration is available, but not required.

Light refreshments provided.
