This past Thursday the directors of the GSA hosted the second Greek “Conversation Club” of the year. The event was held in the GSA office at 21 Sussex from 1 pm to 3 pm and was well attended by members and Greek language learners of all levels. We had a great time speaking Greek, and listening to (and singing) Greek music. We also had delicious sweets! There were Loukoumades from Athens Bakery, baklava and chocolates from Serano, and φραπέδες (frappe coffees) for all à la GSA. Discussion ranged from school & work to relationships, and there were plenty of laughs involved. Students from the Modern Greek language class were also able to practice their vocabulary for the test they had in class next day. The second “Convo Club” was a great success and we look forward to hosting more in the coming weeks!

hursday December 18th, just a few days before Christmas, the GSA took part in a small act to give back to the community. Hosted by the HSA at Ryerson University, and with the help of St. George Greek Orthodox Church, yet another successful year of Skate for Toys was accomplished. With a great turnout of executives, members, and friends from the GSA of U of T, and the HSAs of Ryerson and York, an appreciable amount of toys were donated to the CP24 Christmas Wish Toy Drive. The participants enjoyed hot chocolate and snacks at St. George Greek Orthodox Church in an attempt to warm up before the fun began. In the bitter cold Greek music played loudly and proudly at Lake Devo Skating Rink where the participants showed off their skating skills. The night seamlessly melded the Greek and Canadian cultures, bringing together song and dance on blades and ice.
