On May 4 in Los Angeles at the Wilshire Country Club, 6 pm, we will hold a Benefit Event for our new initiative, the Global Greek Film Initiative (GGFI), co-hosted by GGFI Trustee Theane Evangelis and Jim Kousoulas. The event will be in support of the Global Greek Film Initiative, to meet and mingle with our community and learn more about the exciting and impactful programs we are instituting and expanding upon, including the 17th Los Angeles Greek Film Festival (LAGFF). There will be dinner, live entertainment and complimentary valet parking.
