All Seasons opens their doors and hearts -  This Thanksgiving day, the management and staff at All Seasons decided to open their doors to those less fortunate. Working with St. Dorothea's Roman Catholic Church in Eatontown All Seasons hosted several homeless families from the area for a Thanksgiving Day feast.
“We were approached by Rev. William Evans of St. Dorothea's Church and told of homeless families that could use a good hot meal on Thanksgiving Day," said Louie Hatziminas. “We decided to give something back to our community, and try and help those that were in need.”

Thanksgiving Day, Nikos and Louie Hatziminas were working with their Uncle Mike Zavolas. They cooked 30 turkeys for the day, as well as a few dozen hams, and an endless supply of stuffing, potatoes, and vegetables.
Asked why they stay open on holidays, Nikos Hatziminas was quick to respond: “Not everyone has a family to go to, or can prepare a holiday meal,” said Nikos. “We stay open and provide a hot meal and friendly atmosphere for our customers," he said.
I was worrying about what I was going to do with my children. When I was told that All Seasons was going to treat us to dinner, I could not believe people still care. -Billy Solt of Keansburg.

Both Nikos and Louie started working at the restaurant when they were 12. Louie has worked in every aspect of the business, from dishwasher to cook and now manager. He graduated from Monmouth Regional High School in 1996.
Brother Nikos says he was too pretty to work as a cook, with a smile on his face. He bussed tables and paid his dues in the kitchen. He graduated from Monmouth Regional, in 1998. He also attends Brookdale Community College and studies Business Management.
A group of people who are temporarily without a home due to circumstances beyond their control are being given shelter at the Pan American Motel on Highway 35. They were also the invited guests of All Seasons on Thanksgiving Day.
Billy Solt of Keansburg has been staying at the hotel for a few weeks with her three children. “I was worrying about what I was going to do with my children,” said Solt. "When I was told that All Seasons was going to treat us to dinner I could not believe people still care.” Her eyes filled with tears as she stated that most times people just push them aside and do not take an interest in what happened to them or how to help them.

Diana Santiago of Long Branch, along with her two children, has also been displaced.  “My first night at the shelter I learned that All Seasons would be treating us to a Thanksgiving Day meal,” said Santiago. °It brought a tear to my eye that someone cares about us.” Both Santiago and Solt say that many times, they are just names on paper and trying to get through the legal system is a daunting task. “Once you get someone on the phone and learn their name, it helps,” added Solt.
Louie Hatziminas was happy that he and his family could provide a smile on a few faces on Thanksgiving Day. “I wasn’t really ready for what I saw; I did not expect families and children to be homeless,” said Louie.

His father Louie Hatziminas, immigratred to the United States in 1976. The family is from Karpathos, an island in the Dodecanese chain of Greek islands. “Growing up, we knew we would be involved in the family business, it's in our blood,” said Nikos.

All Seasons is a business that does not need to advertise or come up with gimmicks to get customers in their doors. They did not have to open their doors to the needy on Thanksgiving Day, either; but they have open hearts and with that come open doors.
