Dear Hunter:

Over 100 Greek-American leaders from across the country, and Hellenes from
around the world, will be in Washington, D.C. June 6-8, 2012 for our
28thAnnual Cyprus and Hellenic Leadership Conference. During this
conference we will be meeting with, as we have in previous years, over 50
key Senators, Members of Congress and administration officials.

We would like to invite you, and a guest, to attend - as our guests - our
conference banquet on Thursday, June 7 at the Madison Hotel (15th & M Sts.
N.W.). Cocktails will begin at 6:00 p.m. and dinner at 7:00 p.m.

Those we will be honoring this evening include:
* The American Jewish Committee with the prestigious Frizis Award.
This award is named after Mordohai Frizis, the Jewish Greek hero who was the
first high ranking Greek military officer to give his life in defense of
freedom against the Axis Powers in 1940. It is awarded each year to a
prominent member of the Jewish community in the U.S. who has made
significant contributions to Hellenic issues. The award contains soil from
the countries of Greece, the United States and Israel and states "For
commitment to the defense of the principles for which the United States,
Israel and Hellenism stand. From this hallowed earth have come these great
principles."
Previous recipients of this award have included: National Security Council
Director Sandy Berger; Deputy Secretary of State Jim Steinberg; Chairman of
the Helsinki Commission, Senator Bed Cardin; Chairmen of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee, Tom Lantos and Ben Gilman; Chairman of the Senate Armed
Services Committee, Carl Levin; Undersecretary of State Marc Grossman;
then-Presidential Emissary for Cyprus, Richard Holbrooke; Rabbi Arthur
Schneier; and Honorary President of the American Jewish Committee (AJC)
Maynard Wishner (the first recipient in 1993).
The sponsors of this conference are the national Greek-American community
leaders who are listed below.

Please have your staff contact Marissa Chmiola (by email at

us on June 7.

Sincerely,
