Supreme President Savas Tsivicos led a contingent of AHEPA’s Global leaders in a visit to the Philadelphia Region chapters, hosted by the Camden Chapter 69 of Cherry Hill, NJ. Over 100 members of the organization with delegations from Philadelphia, Upper Darby, Wildwood, Vineland, and Cherry Hill attended a dinner reception in the Danielle Kousoulis Greek Cultural Center at St. Thomas Greek Orthodox Church. Joining the Supreme President was Supreme Governor Dean Moskos, Supreme Secretary Zenon Christodoulou, and Supreme Vice President Chris Kaitson from Houston, Texas.

A mass initiation of the chapters spanning two regions ensued with the assistance of the District Five Lodge, led by District Governor Ion Kontolios and his lodge, Lou Stefanou, George Perentesis, Evans Farres, TJ Borzekas, Peter Doulis, and the host chapter President Jon Patouhas and his officers.

Highlights of this event included the distribution of multiple AHEPA Heroes medals, as well as the announcement of the Journey to Greece Fundraiser to be held on December 15th in Moonachie, NJ. Supreme President Tsivicos set a goal to raise $200,000 at this year’s event, and as a kickoff to the fundraiser, the Cherry Hill and Vineland Chapters pledged an additional $10,000 to the program.
