The San Fernando Valley Chapter of AHEPA invites you to an afternoon of remembrance and education.

Not Even My Name,

This book tells the unforgettable story of Sano Halo' s survival of the death march at the age of 10 that annihilated her family, as told to her daughter, Thea, and the poignant mother/daughter pilgrimage to Turkey in search of Sano's home 70 years after her exile. If you have not read this book, check it out and you will be very moved.

Announcement by Prof. Sarah Morris, UCLA
I am happy to announce that we will soon be hosting a visitor to campus, courtesy of the Onassis Foundation. I hope HUC members can join us for some of the events, during the week of October 15-21.
Professor Kalliope Bourdara of the Athens School of Law, and former member of Parliament and cabinet member for New Democracy, will be here for a week as a guest of UCLA, sponsored by the Onassis Foundation. She will be giving a public lecture on "Byzantine Diplomacy in the Balkans," at 5pm on Tuesday October 16, in Royce 314 on the UCLA campus, followed by a reception hosted by the Onassis Foundation. Ambassador Loukas Tsilas, Director of the Onassis Foundation, and his wife will be attending the lecture and reception in person, and staying near campus that week. She will also lecture to UCLA students in a class on Wednesday morning, on the subject of Byzantine legal traditions, and a seminar in the afternoon, on
the image of the Byzantine emperor and his imperial authority.
