Those who have been previously honored by our organization include: Former President Nick Delis Former President Charles Maliotis and the Maliotis Foundation The Family of Michael Svourakis Nick and Nancy Vidalakis and the Vidalakis Foundation George Varouh George Platsis Former President Stavros and Helene Semanderes Over the past several months, our Strategic Chair Helen Ranney has researched official PAA financial records and reports to identify the level of cash contributions made by our members. In her research, she also discovered that the existing language in our constitution and bylaws designates Great Benefactors as those who have given over $10,000 to the PAA, and remains valid. As a result of this review, we were honored to acknowledge our new Great Benefactors: Present: Costa and Ethel Stamatakis Emanuel (Mike) Elliott John and Elena Manos Theodore and Rema Manousakis Emmanuel and Orsa Velivasakis John and Peggy Kokolakis Katherine Katsounakis Petro and Despina Maropis George and Maria Savakis Trillis Family (Faith Williard; Floyd Trillis; Alexandra Castro) Zervos Family (Terry Zervos; Emmanuel Zervos; Gregory Zervos and Despina Sibley)   Not Present: Ari Varouh Ron Varouh John and Anna Bobolakis George and Margo Chryssis Anna Giannoulias Contorakis Family Byron Ieronimides John Kalmer Costa Tsiskakis George Paterakis Constantine Kostakis Nondas Lagonakis Constantine Lambrakis Livia Maroulakis John Vidalakis Vavagiakis Brothers George and Margo Tzitzikas Steffes Family Great Benefactor and Former PAA Scholarship Chair Terry Zervos is recognized at the PAA National Convention in Akron, Ohio, by Former President John Manos.
