Last month, Physicians for Peace was proud to receive a donation of $2,500 from the Hellenic Women's Club of Norfolk. The gift was presented by Carolyn Papafil and Club President Elizabeth Woods. 

All of this was made possible by the generous spirit of Carolyn, a Past President of the Women's Club, who nominated Physicians for Peace to be the beneficiary of their annual fundraising dinner, "A Touch of Greece." The dinner, held on December 4th, 2009, with the support of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Granby Street in Norfolk, was a great success. Guests enjoyed Greek cuisine and live entertainment from the Norfolk community. 

We are grateful for this show of support by this caring and generous group, who clearly shares our mission of building peace and international friendships. 

For anyone in the Norfolk, Virginia area, you can sample the authentic Greek cuisine of Carolyn Papafil at her son's restaurant, the Norfolk Grill, located in the Wainwright building on West Bute Street. 

To Carolyn, her friends and family, and all those involved with the Hellenic Women's Club, from all of us at Physicians for Peace - Thank you!
