AHEPA Mobilizes To Provide
Financial Assistance to Victims of Hurricane Katrina
WASHINGTON—The supreme president of the American Hellenic Educational
Progressive Association (AHEPA), Gus J. James, II, is urging AHEPA
family
members, chapters, and districts to donate to the AHEPA Emergency Relief
Effort in order to provide immediate assistance to victims of Hurricane
Katrina. All checks should be made payable to AHEPA Charitable Fund,
earmarked “Hurricane Katrina” and forwarded to AHEPA Headquarters at
1909 Q
Street, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20009.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this catastrophic
event
and their families,” James said. “In the Hellenic spirit of
philanthropy,
civic responsibility and good citizenry, I encourage members of our
entire
AHEPA family to make contributions to assist our fellow citizens
affected by
one of the worst natural disasters to hit our country.”
James has appointed Supreme Treasurer Cosmos E. Marandos and Supreme
Governors K. Gus Hazifotis and Anthony Kouzounis as tri-chairs of the
AHEPA
Emergency Relief Effort. They will oversee and coordinate the donation
drive.
Hurricane Katrina pounded the Gulf Coast with devastating force winds
causing extensive damage and destruction to areas of Louisiana and
Mississippi. In Alabama’s Gulf Coast county of Mobile, which was also
heavily battered by the hurricane, the AHEPA family maintains 10 senior
citizen housing complexes and the Penelope House, the first shelter for
battered women and their children in the state.
The mission of the AHEPA family is to promote the ideals of Hellenism,
education, philanthropy, civic responsibility and family and individual
excellence.
The AHEPA family consists of four organizations: AHEPA, Daughters of
Penelope, Sons of Pericles and Maids of Athena.
