As part of his ongoing cross-country visitation tour, AHEPA Supreme President Chris Kaitson traveled to Minnesota to meet with members of the Minneapolis and St. Paul AHEPA Chapters. Over lunch, the Supreme President shared updates on AHEPA’s national initiatives and upcoming programs, emphasizing the importance of member engagement and community outreach in strengthening the Order’s mission across the country.

Later in the afternoon, Supreme President Kaitson and Supreme Secretary Themistocles Frangos visited the AHEPA Archives, located within the University of Minnesota’s underground archival facility. Chairman of the AHEPA Archives Peter Dress and Daughters of Penelope representative Tessie Bourdamis guided the Supreme Lodge through the extensive collection, which preserves valuable documents dating back to the organization’s founding in 1922.

The visit continued with a local chapter meeting at AHEPA Chapter 66 in Minneapolis, co-hosted by the Daughters of Penelope at the Penelope Senior Housing Complex, part of the AHEPA Senior Living network. Supreme President Kaitson addressed the brothers and sisters of the community, offering insights into AHEPA’s ongoing philanthropic and educational efforts.
