Last Friday, January 11, 2013, at 7:30 pm, my book was presented in the Municipality of Sotiras, at the invitation of the Mayor Sotiras and the Municipal Council, and especially of my best man Mr. Florentia Savva who is a Municipal Councilor and Chairman of the Cultural Committee of the Municipality.

Personally, I know the people of the free province of Famagusta from the time I was Secretary of the Women's Organization of DISY. Famagusta. Especially the women of Sotira, Liopetri, Avgoros and Deryneia, who made me very proud on the night of the presentation of my book, because after a decade of retiring from active action, they still show me love and appreciation their.

Greetings, initially, addressed the excellent Mayor of Sotira Mr. George Takkas, a serious scientist, a good homeowner who I am sure will lead his Municipality to a prosperous port.

Then, my best man, Florence Savva, read my CV and wished me to present my next book in Lefkonikos.

The presentation of my book was undertaken by the young, promising philologist from Sotira, originally from Karpasia, Mr. Marinos Pavlikkas. With the ethos and kindness that characterize him, Marinos presented with sharpness and love several of the books contained in my book, while I read some characteristic excerpts.

In my rebuttal, in return for the love of my friends, I presented them with photos from Lefkonikos and the beaches of our province.

The pleasant note of the evening was the presence of my friends, the musician Michalis Hadjimichael and his wife Xenia, who sang us three wonderful songs that charged us more emotionally.

In the end, as always, I served the traditional dessert of Mesaoria, the so delicious chip pie, while the Municipality kindly offered various savory terpsilaryngia.

Why was the presentation of my book to the Savior so moving? Because I felt like I was at home. I felt that I was among my own, very close to me, my loved ones who honored me and surrounded me with their love. Of course, knowing the people of the area and the Municipality of Sotira, this was to be expected.

Mainly, the revered priest Father George whose presence in the Savior is a catalyst for the piety and spirituality of the inhabitants. With him is his grandson, Father George, the youngest, a sweet figure of a priest who inspires youth.

I thank from the bottom of my heart my good friends and my good friends who honored me with their presence on Friday night.

In particular, I thank the Mayor and the members of the Municipal Council Sotiras for the honorary invitation to present my book in their Municipality, Marinos for the presentation of my book, and the couple Hadjimichael for the musical feast they gave us.
