Prof. Coufoudakis is also the Vice Chairman of the AHEPA Educational Foundation, holds a Ph.D. in Political Science and an M.P.A. degree from the University of Michigan.

Saturday, October 24th 1998, the AHEPA Juan De Fuca Chapter 177 is hosting its Officer's Installation Dinner, presenting Dr. Coufoudakis as the feature speaker of the event. The topic of his speech will be: "Seeking a Cyprus Solution: What Can Washington Do? What Can the Greek-American Community Do?" The dinner will take place at the St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, Small Hall. Social Hour 6:00-7:00 p.m., Dinner at 7:00 p.m. and a musical recital will follow the Dr. Coufoudakis speech and will feature Mr. Nektarios Antoniou, a young Chanter from Hellenic College in Boston who will be accompanied by Mr. Christos Govetas and Mr. Bob Beer on instruments to present a recital of songs from the Aegean, Pondos, Macedonia and Asia Minor regions of Greece.

Sunday, October 25th 1998, the AHEPA Chapter will contribute to the St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church's Sunday Liturgy by offering the Left and Right Psaltirion in the traditional arrangement and form without the Choir participating on that Sunday. Our visitor Mr. Nektarios Antoniou and Mr. Heraklis Panayiotides of Tacoma will be the Principal Psalters. We are delighted to present Mr. Nectarios Antoniou as the feature psalmodos, because of this youth and achievement in an area of significant cultural tradition, hoping to impress on our youth and others who are enjoying this art form. A free luncheon will be also offered at St. Demetrios after the Sunday Liturgy, as an expression of gratitude for the various contributions and help the Church has received by the attending community.

We will be delighted to invite all interested to attend the cultural events during that weekend.
