This Week For Greeks! - Vol.3 Issue 6 - Monday, February 16, 2009
A Message from the Supreme President
Brothers, Sisters and Friends:
As February rolls around many of our Districts are hosting, or preparing to host, their Mid Winter Conferences. I want to remind them to please discuss the various AHEPA charities and programs during the course of their deliberations and to encourage each chapter to support our upcoming Supreme Convention in San Francisco this July. This year's convention promises to be filled with activities for the entire AHEPA Family and is special in that we will be celebrating the 80th Anniversary of the Daughters of Penelope. In that light I want to congratulate Grand President Barbara Stavis Wolf on her recent and successful visit to Greece. I look forward to hearing more about her trip in the coming days.
Once again, I wish all of you the best during your upcoming conferences.
Fraternally,
Ike Gulas, Supreme President
