Dear Members and Friends
Welcome to our website, It is through the our correspondence with you that we can reflect on all of our achievements and accomplishments,throughout the last 45 years of existence.

We are one of the biggest and most respected community organisations in SA and must strive to maintain this. We also must remind ourselves the importance of maintaining our Chian heritage and nurturing the interaction of Chiotes in S.A.

Times have changed, and as an association we have had the foresight to keep up with changes to be able to maintain the aims and objectives. One example of this is to offer exciting and innovative functions. Of course it is only with the members' participation that this can all be achieved. The more united support of all our members for its objectives the stronger the association will become.

There is no doubt the future of the Association depends on the participation of our younger members and their friends. These younger members will only embrace the association if they are made to feel welcome, and this is the reason some events and functions are being held in such a style, as to result in enthusing these participants.

In finishing I must thank the committees, the ladies Auxiliary and the Executive who work together in harmony and very hard to make it all happen. All of us together, committees and members must work together in unity for our association to prosper in the future and have something
worthy that our children will want to continue with. It is something our ancestors have left us, and something we should feel very proud of.
