• ROMANIAN EVENINGS - on the occasion of the National Day of Romania on the 1st of December an annual buffet - ball is organized. Romanian folk music
and dance ensembles (“Rapsozii Carpatilor”, the student group “Doina”), folk music singers (Marius Teicu) were invited by the Society. These evenings - twelve so far - have always
been held under the auspices of the Minister of Culture of Cyprus and the Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture have at times sponsored us. For the artists transport
we are very much indebted to the Agency “New Marathon Tours”, whose Director, Mr. Emilios Thoma is the Honorary Consul of Romania in Cyprus. These evenings have always been
honored by the presence of personalities of the political and cultural life of Cyprus and are greatly appreciated by the Romanian community who turn out in mass.
