X-MAS DINNER & SOCIAL 2022

European Paratroopers Christmas Party.

Dear Comrades and Friends, Saturday January 15th we held our Christmas Dinner & Social party at Hotel Jitomir in Montana, Bulgaria. The evening begun with welcome aperitif, followed by dinner, auction raffle and awarding ceremony. The Christmas Dinner & Social was one of the most important event of the year for our Association, providing our members with their families and friends the chance to socialize at Christmas holidays, and to celebrate together the end of 2022. The dinner usually takes place on the third weekend in December but because of relocation reasons this year the event was planned and executed last month of January.

"Over this past year, even if not easy because of war in Ukraine, we was able to organize several courses and operations, as well as charity projects and more important a massive humanitarian mission in Ukraine. It was a year of uncertainties of hardship, trials and tribulations, and hoping the New Year brings us all good health and peace in Europe." said Giulio Festa, the European Paratroopers President "I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful Happy New Year! Thank you so much for making the European Paratroopers Association one of the world's greatest airborne organization of all time" continued President Festa.

During the party the EPA Honor Cross, Merit Cross, and the new Ukrinian Service Medaland Humanitarian Service Medals was awarded to our members and friends who offered their meritorious service, continuous commitment or financial support to the Association’s purposes and activities. Other international medals were also awarded to some of our members that were recognized for their services. The night continued with a Bulgarian folk dance, dancing, good music, drinks and finishing the party with christmas cake. All our members and families enjoyed this great event and their stay in Bulgaria.
