To The Clergy and Faithful of the Diocese of the South:

Greetings in the Lord!

With the blessing of His Eminence, Archbishop Dmitri, the planning committee of the 2009 DOS Assembly invites you to prepare your schedules for next year’s Assembly.

The dates for the 2009 Assembly will be July 21-23.  The host hotel is the Marriott Century Center off Clairmont Road. The local committee has arranged a special 2009 Assembly room rate of $99 per night. The special rate applies for the weekend before and after the Assembly. The hotel is easily accessed off of I-85

All Assembly functions will be held at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral, also on Clairmont Road. The Cathedral is about 2 miles from the hotel.  His Eminence, Metropolitan Alexios of the Greek Metropolis of Atlanta looks forward to opening his Cathedral to us and worshiping with us at the Assembly.

Being close to all the sites in and around Atlanta, the local committee will be adding direct web links to the myriad of venues for Assembly attendees and their families to visit including the Atlanta Zoo, Turner Field where the Braves play, Stone Mountain Park, and the Georgia Aquarium.  Restaurants are also nearby for your culinary needs.  

With anticipation to be of service to you all, we look forward to being your hosts.

The 2009 DOS Assembly Committee
