Dear HAS members,
Happy New Year! I hope everybody had a restful holiday season. Our Vasilopita celebration this year is going to be on Sunday, January 29th.
We will meet at 6:00 pm for dinner and Vasilopita at Kouzina Christos restaurant in Marietta. The cost of the event will be $15 ($10 for students).
Please e-mail me georgenakos@clayton.edu to let us know if you are coming because we need to tell the restaurant how many people will attend.
Again, please RSVP to enable proper organization of the event.
Please note that this is a new place for us! We decided to change because it was getting too crowded in the restaurant that we had the Vasilopita the previous years. It is also a lot closer to Georgia Tech and midtown Atlanta.
This is the address of Kouzina Christos restaurant:
1453 Terrell Mill Road
Marietta, GA 30067
Phone: (770) 952-1950
We are looking forward to seeing everybody on Sunday, January 29th!

Greetings Film Lovers!
Join us for a special film event on Sunday, March 26, at 4PM at the Regal Tara theater for the Atlanta premiere of “Swing Away”, a George E. Stephanopoulos and Michael A. Nickles film. As an added bonus, producer/creator George E. Stephanopoulos will be at the screening and will host a Q&A after the film.
“Swing Away” is a delightful comedy/drama about a troubled golfer (played by Shannon Elizabeth) who travels to the island of Rhodes where she reconnects with her Greek roots. In the process, she mentors a young girl determined to become a golf sensation and rallies the townspeople to stand up against a greedy real estate developer (played by John O’Hurley of Seinfeld fame) who has designs not only on the local golf course but the village as well.
Don’t miss this special film event! The film is appropriate for all ages, so bring the whole family! Tickets are on sale now, just click here to purchase.
You can view the trailer here. A longer description of the film follows below.
See you at the movies!
