The Epstein School's Annual Celebration will honor Andy Kauss and celebrate the students of The Epstein School in a very special gala on Wednesday, May 28, 2003, at the Atlanta History Center in Buckhead. The evening's festivities will include fabulous food, a silent auction, lively entertainment and lots of surprises.

The Annual Celebration Committee, co-chaired by Beth Arogeti and Elisa Prager, has designed a very memorable evening. "We have worked to create an event that will include a special tribute to our honoree, Andy Kauss, and will also honor The Epstein School's students and their many distinctive voices," said Beth Arogeti. "Most importantly, this year's Annual Celebration will be a wonderful opportunity for Epstein's families and friends to relax, enjoy the beautiful environment of the Atlanta History Center, and celebrate the many facets of The Epstein School."

Andy Kauss, the evening's guest of honor, has been a central figure in the leadership of The Epstein School for over 15 years and has played a key role in the school's growth and development. Andy is the father of three Epstein graduates and has served as a Trustee, Vice President and President of the Board of Trustees and is currently serving as the President of The Epstein School Foundation. Professionally, Andy is a partner in the law firm of Kilpatrick Stockton LLP, where he currently serves as the Chairman of the Real Estate Practice Group and is a member of the firm's Executive Committee. He and his wife Rosanne are active members of Congregation B'nai Torah.

Epstein students will entertain the Celebration guests with an original program full of songs and smiles. In addition, guests will have an opportunity to bid on a wide assortment of unique silent auction items including a VIP pass to Will & Grace, spa outings and one-of-a-kind Judaica products. This year's silent auction will also feature beautiful artwork created by Epstein children, as well as items and services donated by Epstein faculty and staff, including one-on-one basketball sessions, a Sunday Zoo outing and a kugel baking lesson.
