Do you long for the roasted flavors and rich recipes of the islands of Greece? Are you ever in luck! The Lopez Island School Greek Club is pleased to satisfy your palate.

The club will host a fundraising dinner on Friday, Aug. 21, from 6-8 p.m. in the multi-purpose room at the school. Several dishes will be served with options for vegans and carnivores. Music will be provided by Stanley Greenthal.

The group is fundraising for their anticipated trip during the spring break of 2016. Jonathan Doherty, Anah-Kate Drahn, Harrison Goodrich, Reese Hamilton and Emalie Hobi will travel to Athens, Mycenae, Nafplion, Delphi and Crete. Principal Dave Sather is organizing the trip alongside Lisa Geddes. As to why he is doing the trip,“I want students to have a 4,000-year viewpoint of history, and certainly there is no better place than Greece to do just that.”

Tickets will be $75 and can be purchased at the door, at the district office or by contacting Sather at dsather@lopez.k12.wa.us.

You are also encouraged to visit the club’s website to purchase homemade sea salt or soap which will go on to support the trip: lobosingreece.weebly.com/.
