Our Samaria Chapter was founded in 2003.  We equally welcome members of our community with Cretan   
 heritage, along with those who love or want to know more about Crete.  Cretan culture, customs and civilization
 evolved long before the dawn of history and have been preserved through music, dances, songs, myths,   
 handcrafts, and delicacies. The goal of "Samaria" is to conserve these cultural treasures, and with respect
 and love, to pass this heritage to future generations.
