FASE SPETSES have invited once again GAWF - Greek Animal Welfare Fund to Spetses. On Friday 13/14/15 June, 2008, GAWF will be conducting a neutering programme for stray cats and dogs. We are most happy to have GAWF on the island and we hope people can help our project a little by making a donation to our Society - FASE / SPETSES to help defer our medical expenses. Thank you.

Local elections were held on Sunday 06 November 2010 in Spetses and the three main candidates were: * Evvagelos Kondaxakis (the present mayor) * Panayotis Lyrakis * Kalomira Koumbi
Evvagelos Kondaxakis won on this first round, but it was not an outright win, as he did not obtain a majority. Panayotis Lyrakis was second, followed by Kalomira Koumbi (the first woman to run for Mayor in Spetses).
The elections then had to go to a second round, set for the following Sunday 14 November 2010. This second round was between Evvagelos Kondaxakis and Panayotis Lyrakis.

Local children took over the Spetses Friends of the Animals Society second hand book corner, on Friday 15 August and Saturday 16 August to help raise money for FASE Spetses. They had all been busy making various handicrafts, such as wooden fish, dough animals, painted pebbles and bracelets.

Spetses Equine owners welcomed the GAWF (Greek Animal Welfare) Equine Team on Friday 29 February 2008, for a 2 day Equine Seminar. GAWF invited Greek vets, carriage and private owners, untrained farriers and welfare group members to attend.

Dates for Apokries (Carnival time in Greece), Kathari Dheftéra (Clean Monday or Shrove Monday) and Easter for 2010. The dates change every year and this year is no exception - however, once again, Greek Easter is the same as the western Easter.

Dimotiko School Christmas Village on the Dapia.  11/12 December 2010. The Dimotiko School of Spetses (local primary school) organised another Christmas Village Bazaar just behind the Dapia. Weeks of preparation were needed, whilst volunteers made local handicrafts with Christmas themes.
