ASTORIA, NY – On September 14, the Astoria Maids of Athena Nymphs Chapter 119 started the season with a bang at their first-ever Welcome Back Brunch at Oasis Cafe in Bayside, NY. After a summer full of vacations and adventures, this event was the perfect way to reconnect, enjoy some delicious food, and kick off the new season in style.

The brunch was a huge success. The Astoria Maids were joined by members of the Daughters of Penelope Illion Chapter, the Astoria Sons of Pericles Omega Chapter, the Astoria John Cassavetes Hermes AHEPA Chapter, as well as the Maids of Athena District 6 Governor Sophia Theodorou. Oasis buzzed with laughter as everyone caught up and shared stories from their summer escapades.
