Dear Brothers, Sisters and Friends:
Our Convention is now almost upon us. I have received many calls asking valid questions, and in hopes of answering your concerns, I would like to review for all of you what our plans are and what we expect the costs to be. If you have not made hotel arrangements, I urge you to call the FREI agency today. There are still a few rooms left, so please call now. Headquarters does NOT have any rooms to sell, you must call the travel agency. The numbers are listed further down. I suggest you reserve your hotels today because of the constant fluctuation of the Euro.
You can contact the FREI Travel Agency, via email ahepa2008@frei.gr or via phone 011.30.210.321.5600 PLEASE CALL TODAY.
1. The Convention Dates are July 1-11, 2008.
These dates are what we have been promoting since the beginning, and this includes the package with a cruise. The cost for the room and cruise range from $2850 (1900 Euro) to $3450 (2300 Euro). This price is for the complete package for BOTH People in the room. Example: 2 people staying at the Intercontinental Hotel (AHEPA HQ Hotel) and going on the cruise would pay about $259 a day. When broken down, it covers the cost of transportation to and from the airport, breakfast daily, one additional meal daily (if you purchase the event ticket package as a delegate/alternate or registered guest).
Visit the New Acropolis Museum!

AHEPA is the largest Greek-American association in the world with chapters in the United States, Canada, Greece, Cyprus, and sister chapters in Australia and New Zealand. It was established in 1922 by visionary Greek Americans to protect Hellenes from prejudice originating from the KKK, and in its history, AHEPA joined with the NAACP and B'nai B'rith International to fight discrimination.
