AHI kicks-off Business Networking 1st Wednesday of the Month Group

WASHINGTON, DC—On Wednesday November 5, 2003, AHI inaugurated its monthly DC Business Networking Informal Reception, 1st Wednesday of the Month Group, at Ozios Bar and Lounge, kindly offered by AHI member and friend, Mr. George Christacos. Despite the depressing weather, AHI members, friends and their guests responding to the Greek ideals of participation in public affairs and social interaction, joined us at Ozios for a few hours of fun and networking.

Special Guest was Larry Michael, Vice President of Sports Westwood One / CBS Radio Sports and Host of the Washington Redskins Pre and Post Game Radio Shows. Two lucky winners received door prizes that included authentic 2003 Superbowl jacket, Athens Olympics T-shirts and baseball hats. AHI Executive Director Nick Larigakis stated: "We are very satisfied by the turnout of our first event. This is a very important part of AHI activities and we believe that increasingly more and more people will respond to it."
