AHEPA 85th Anniversary Celebration

Brothers Sisters and Friends:
 
The Order of AHEPA's birthday is July 26, 1922. In hopes of celebrating our 85th anniversary in its founding city, AHEPA has scheduled the 85th anniversary celebration on the weekend of September 7-9, 2007. The Supreme President of the Order of AHEPA, Ike Gulas, invites you and your family to attend this weekend of events. Listed below are the details of what the local chapters have prepared for the weekend. In addition to these events the AHEPA family (Daughters, Sons and Maids) will hold their annual District Governors meetings and our AHEPA Supreme Lodge and Board of Trustees meetings. I encourage all of you to make reservations early. The AHEPA will be honoring all our Past Supreme Presidents during this event and the local chapters have prepared so much more. In addition to celebrating our rich history we will be honoring the creation of the Archdiocese as well. These two institutions have maintained and promoted Hellenism in America.
 
Please make every effort to attend this historic event!
 
Fraternally, 
 
Basil N. Mossaidis
Executive Director
American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA)
