The dinner will start at 5:30 p.m. Saturday,

Dinner will be served “family style” in the tradition of an authentic “Greek Taverna” atmosphere and will start off with such traditional Greek appetizers as grape leaf rolls (dolmadakia), spinach pie (spanakopeta) and Greek meatballs (keftedes).

The main course will include Greek salad with French bread, Greek lamb or a vegetarian moussaka (Greek casserole), Greek rice and roasted potatoes, and traditional Greek desserts, including sweet cake (ravani), tea cookies (koulourakia) and wedding cookies (kourabiedes).
