Important Convention Update!
(AHEPA HQ, Washington, DC -- 6/13/11)
We have been advised today that the Fontainebleau Hotel is currently SOLD OUT for our Convention July 18-24. Headquarters is currently in negotiations to secure an overflow hotel to provide accommodations to our AHEPA family members who have not made reservations yet.
If you require a room, please call Stephanie at AHEPA headquarters at 202.232.6300 with your dates and credit card info, so we can place you on our waiting list. As soon as we secure additional rooms at the overflow hotel we will make your reservation for you.
CONVENTION Delegate registration deadline still remains June 30! Do not miss the deadline or you will have to pay a higher registration fee! Call or register on line TODAY!
Lastly, due to the unprecedented demand for rooms and since we are now sold out, the $100 fee associated with not staying at our convention hotel HAS BEEN WAIVED.
As always we at headquarters are here to assist you with any questions, please feel free to call on us at any time.
Fraternally,
Basil N. Mossaidis, Executive Director

Third Thursday | ADC at Donovan House | July 21, 2011
For those who can’t escape the DC heat for a trip to Greece or a week at the beach, this month's Third Thursday on July 21, 2011 at 7 PM offers a resort style break surprisingly in the heart of DC. ADC, the rooftop bar at Donovan House, located on 14th Street at Thomas Circle, is reminiscent of a South Beach lounge with a pool adding unexpected ambiance to a unique venue for DC.

See you there,
Aristotelis Chronis | Themistocles Chronis | Sofia Plagakis | Christiana Shoushtari | Michael Veronis Third Thursday Hosts ([email protected])
If you have a suggestion on where the next Third Thursday should be, email us at [email protected], join our Facebook group. We would love to hear from you!
Since 2001, Third Thursday has provided Greek-Americans, Greeks, Cypriots, and Philhellenes from the Washington, DC area and beyond the chance to meet every month in a relaxed atmosphere, particularly welcoming those who have moved from different parts of the country for work or school into the greater DC area Greek community. With visits to a variety of bars, restaurants, and lounges in the most vibrant neighborhoods of DC, Maryland, and Virginia, Third Thursday is a great way to catch up with old friends and make new ones in the Greek community. As it now embarks on its third iteration since its founding, we promise to maintain the simple principles of its founders, while expanding the event to an ever-changing audience of Greeks in the area. We look forward to seeing you -- or meeting you for the first time -- at the next Third Thursday.
