While also delving into the world of adult fiction, Ms. Dontas prides herself on her no nonsense approach in business. She leads a team of experienced professionals in assisting established businesses and startup clients in achieving maximum profitability with strategic efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the entrepreneurial journey of her father and uncle, Kalliope believes it is a symbolic gesture to have her first book signing and fundraising event on Hamilton Street. The two men are Greek immigrants who came to this country seeking a better life for their families. Their first business was also on Hamilton Street just a few blocks north from where the eventful celebration will be.<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p>Event Details:<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1476215109\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Sunday, April 17th<\/span><\/span> at Two City Center, 645 Hamilton Street, Allentown, Pa 18101<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1476215110\"><span class=\"aQJ\">2pm-4pm<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Book signing\u00a0at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/shop.moravianbookshop.com\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\">Moravian Bookshop<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Allentown<\/p>\n<p>Fundraising\u00a0celebration\u00a0starts at\u00a0<strong><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1476215111\"><span class=\"aQJ\">4pm<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehamiltonkitchen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\">The Hamilton Kitchen<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Food, drinks, music and a prize raffle with all proceeds going towards\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/events.doctorswithoutborders.org\/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.personalCampaign&amp;participantID=3576\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\">Doctors without Borders<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to help with the refugee crisis in Greece.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the event, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/236272313391005\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #1155cc;\">Facebook\u00a0event page<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Information Provided By: <a title=\"Alpha Muse Inc. \" href=\"https:\/\/alphaconsultingnyc.com\/\" rel=\"home\">Alpha Muse Inc.<\/a> via newswire.com<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class='adkingprobanner sidebar banner3023'><a href='http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/' target=\"_blank\" data-id='3023' data-ga='{\"campaign\":\"\",\"banner\":\"\",\"implemented\":\"universal\",\"imp_action\":\"Impression\",\"click_action\":\"Click\"}'><img src='https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inpostblank.jpg' alt='' \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class='adkingprobanner sidebar banner7036'><a href='http:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com' target=\"_blank\" data-id='7036' data-ga='{\"campaign\":\"\",\"banner\":\"\",\"implemented\":\"universal\",\"imp_action\":\"Impression\",\"click_action\":\"Click\"}'><img src='https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/inpostblank.jpg' alt='' \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/?post_type=adverts_posts&p=7036\" class=\"read-more\">Click here to read more... <\/a>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13188,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[69,482],"tags":[29,2,481],"class_list":["post-13187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-in-the-valley","category-press-release-2","tag-allentown","tag-lehigh-valley","tag-press-release"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kalliopi-Magali.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13187"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13187\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/13188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
