Silent Candlelight Vigil
Dear Fellow Cypriots & Friends of Cyprus,
As I am sure you are aware, on July 20, 2024, we will commemorate the 50 year invasion of Cyprus.
With this in mind, the Friends of Cyprus board has obtained permission from the City of Houston to hold a silent candlelight vigil in front of City Hall, Hermann Square. This will occur on July 20, 2024 at 7:00 pm. Therefore, we would like to invite you & your family/friends to attend this solemn event to show the world that we in Houston will NEVER FORGET!
Please save the date/time. More information will be forthcoming.
