Today's Meet a Member a Day, the lovely Mardaska - aka Marianna, is an excellent designer (she designed the VT Santorini member meeting logo)and is an enthusiastic VT friend meeter. I met her in Santorini, and what a pleasure.

Glad to meet you on VT, Marianna, thanks to Giampiero! I might have met you in Thera but had to cancel my booking because I had three appointments at the same time. I am sure that I missed a lot, not meeting you!

I'm just always interesting is people I come across that I might not have seen before and there are a lot of great ones that other members might not know as well. Feel free to drop a note or post your own as well!

I had a wonderful time with Mardasaka and I sincerely appreciated all of the Greek culture and language that she shared with me. Thanks to Mardaska, Littlesam1 and I eat Ocotopus. I still have the paper on which she wrote 'Htapodi'! I was so pleasantly surprised to see her at the "Friendly Greek Travern" in Santorini! I am sure we will meet again. Until then, "Na Eisai Kala!"

Fondly, Mark (Hikerpark)

Marianna, one of my most favourite VTers ever! She and her husband, Paris, did a tremendous job helping with the organization of the very successful Euromeet2007. They not only made the design for the t-shirts, but printed the badges and the labels for the gift bags and the tickets for the meals. Plus, without Marianne's fantastic positive spirit and personality, I would have crumbled on more than one stressful moment. Thank you Marianne, for being my friend. Filakia, Janet

Marianna: the first vt member I spoke to; it was 20 february 2003 when I was looking for some info about athens: she was the first one who replied to me giving me useful informations. I've met her a lot of times in her city and we listen to each other frequently like old friends. I couldn't come to santorini meeting to see her at work, but I can imagine she was so active.
loipon: efkaristo poli ghia olla Marianna, kai taleme syntoma!!!!! (so: thanx a lot for everything Marianna and see you soon)
