“A recent building addition to the church’s Hellenic
Center will be put to good use for festival goers.” said Chris Karahalios,
chairman of this year’s festival. “We’ve added a balanced addition to our
building that will serve many purposes going forward. During the festival, this new space will
accommodate our take-out service. We are
excited because take-out will be indoors and not under a tent. This will allow us improved quality of
service.
“It takes our entire congregation to support, produce
and volunteer for the festival. Are we are delighted each year to invite
Winston-Salem and surrounding communities to sample Greek culture,
even if just for a few days,” said Father Demetri Kangelaris. “We are so
proud that a portion of the funds raised from each festival are put
back into our community.” said Fr. Kangelaris.
A portion of proceeds benefit Brenner Children’s
Hospital, the Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina and Metropolis Youth
Ministries.
Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church
is located at 435 Keating Dr. For directions and more information
