Our first meeting with Mr. Nick Anthony

So Tuesday evening we met with Mr. Nick Anthony where he treated us dinner. Dinner, wine, and baklava, it was good! We let him tell us about his family and how Papouli's came to be. You can tell immediately he is all about his family and that he truly wants to capture eveyones story. The purpose of The Grandfather Project is to capture peoples strories about there grandfather and share them, especially the people of our generation. Since we have the social aspect of our project it was time to present him with the ideas to make the grandfather project sustainable on its own. He loved every idea we gave him, he also made us think even harder about what else we could do and how we could do it. We discussed the different ways of caputuring a persons story from being just in the restaurant to being a part of upcoming events. This project isn't just about the Greek community its about everyone, all different cultures. He is baiscally giving us free reign over the website and ways we can make this project work. Some more ideas will come when we meet again for our storyboard. We are all thrilled to be apart of this project and know it can grow into so much more.
