Events and News
Scroll below for a diary of events for 2019 and the latest KAV news.
All events undertaken by the KAV are with the objective of raising funds and awareness of the community service the organisations that the Kastellorizian Club is committed to. Events focused towards our Seniors are designed to provide social interaction and to reduce any feelings of isolation. Our welfare officer attends and checks in on those attending and those not attending.
