Brothers:
Happy New Year to you and your families!! As we have mentioned in various District 6 Lodge and joint AHEPA District Lodge/DOP Lodge/Chapter/Member meetings during the year we have lost numerous (about 60) District 6 AHEPA Brothers and DOP Sisters this past year due to various reasons, COVID and otherwise. We have said and agreed to honor all who have fallen this past problematic year in our District with a special AHEPA District 6 Family Ad in the January weekend edition of The National Herald to commemorate them and give them the appropriate thanks for their service and philanthropy to our various communities over the years in this great AHEPA District 6 Family of ours.
Brother Jim Zafiros had volunteered to Chair this Special District 6 Family Ad Committee for the January ad, and we thank him for his hard work in this regard, and his continual service and initiatives within our District. He has been assisted by Media Director Brother Harry Fotiadis, our Technology and Social Media Director Brother Bobby Gemelas, and our Communications Director Brother John Metekidis in this endeavor.
Time is of the essence so we are asking all AHEPA and DOP Chapter Presidents and Officers to check and finalize your information on all members who have passed over the year if you have not done so (most have). Send any added information to Brother Chris Pappis by the latest Sunday, January 10 at ahepa.district6@gmail.com. Thank you all for your service and all that you do. Stay safe and best regards.
Fraternally yours,
Brother Lou Katsos
AHEPA District 6 Governor
