Greetings from the District Governor of the Daughters of Penelope, District #25

Heartfelt greetings to this joint project of AHEPA and the Daughters of Penelope.When they founded the Organizations AHEPA and Daughters of Penelope they set a sacred

and almost unobtainable goal:

ñ The preservation of Hellenism, which includes everything it implies (homeland, religion,language, customs, ideals and principles).

ñ The improvement of the relationship between immigrant Greeks, and their brotherlyembracement, in those foreign places where they found themselves, to help each othersurvive.

And they survived. And they achieved much, much more than mere survival.

Today we are still continuing…

But, in order to succeed, we have to use the one and only formula. That is, returning to ouroriginal goals .

We Have To Remember Them!

A FEW WORDS FOR AHEPAAHEPA is a long journey in time through people, charitable fundraising dinners, receptions, donations,speeches and academic scholarships, a walk through every corner of America, in every city, in everyluxurious hotel where they organize their banquets.

From Phoenix, in Arizona, Washington, Boston, Chicago, Florida, I found myself among Greeksenators, heads of church, diplomats, magnates, politicians such as; Michalis Doukakis, Michalis Bilirakis,George Stefanopoulos, Nicholas Burns, Paul Sarbanes, Archbishop Dimitrios, George Kokkalis are someof them as well as many other distinguished people and members of AHEPA.

I felt proud for being Greek and not at all powerless in a foreign country, on the contrary! As time went by, we, modern Greeks, have lost the power of our historical memory. The Hellenes of

America, the AHEPANS, still keep these memories powerful, inextinguishable and with an unprecedentedsolidarity for my generation.

I would like to thank each and every one personally for all the good moments I experienced the lastyears in many banquets, for their magnificence, their generosity of heart and their Mediterranean humor.

I wish that time will continue to pass the torch to the next generations so that this tradition will not be lost.Finally, I would like to dedicate to A. Stash Betzelos, Past Supreme President, Chairman of the Event,

and my second father, the concert of the 17th April 2006 for his great service to the AHEPA family, and forthe beautiful path of AHEPA he led me through.

Elisavet PapageorgiouOfficial Representative for

the organization of the AHEPAHellenic American Forum 2006

"What is AHEPA? What does it do? What is its mission? Why should I join?"These are some questions people often ask when they are invited to join AHEPA. Becausesome of our fathers or grandfathers were members or even founders of AHEPA we tend to takethe long and commendable history of AHEPA for granted, we just grew up with it. And becauseAHEPA is the largest and oldest association of American citizens of Greek heritage,unfortunately, we tend to blindly assume that everyone else is aware of AHEPA and itsachievements. Unfortunately, this is not so.....

There are many Greeks and Greek Americans who do not fully understand what AHEPA isall about. One thing AHEPA is not: It is not a Masonic Organization. Here in Greece manyknow of the hospital in Thessaloniki and have seen the AHEPA Wing at the EvangelismosHospital, but there is much more to AHEPA than this. Following is a story, including historicphotographs, that concerns the fervor and zeal of these immigrants – our forbears, whoimmigrated to a new land and quickly adopted it as their home; who, with a fervor and zealintegrated themselves into it’s society and became, within less than a century, some of theoutstanding leaders of the United States.. It is these immigrants and the sons and daughters ofthese immigrants, who, after World War II, with a singular devotion to their homeland,"PATRIDA", sent donations of an average $200 (which was then the equivalent of a month’semployment) to support and rebuild the then devastated Greece. It is these men and womenwhom we applaud in the following pages, those who with the spirit of their ancient forebears,have left behind their legacy to us - AHEPA.

AHEPA - IT’S INCEPTIONOne hot summer day in 1922, two Greek American businessmen, George Nikolopoulos (Polos)and John Angelopoulos, both traveling salesmen working out of Atlanta, met by chance inChattanooga, Tennessee. Among other things, they talked about the growing wave of hostilitythat targeted their nationality and religion. It was a time when the Ku Klux Klan, reorganizedin 1917, and thriving on militant patriotism, was enjoying a renaissance of hatred in the

AAHEPHEPA – TA – THE BEGINNINGHE BEGINNING

South. Meanwhile, in Washington DC, Congress and the Federal Government were discussingways to stem the tide of ''less desirable" immigrants from ''certain'' countries, whichinvariably included the Balkan nations.

Both men agreed there was a real need for a patriotic organization that would direct andchannel the energy of the Greek community in the United States; a group that would bepolitically non-partisan and religiously non-sectarian.

There was never a shortage of Greek fraternal organizations whose members came toAmerica from the same region, island or village. These were the topika somatia that tended todepartmentalize the Greek American community, keeping it well outside of the larger,mainstream American community.

These regional associations, along with the local parish church, brought the strugglingimmigrant some much-needed comfort satisfying the basic human need of "belonging," In somany cases the members of these topika were instrumental in organizing and building theGreek Orthodox parish churches across the land. Fortunately for future generations, many ofthese organizations are still around, so are the communities they helped establish.

However, faced with the tenor of the times, Polos and Angelopoulos agreed anorganization with a much larger, national scope was needed. The idea for a Pan-Hellenicorganization wasn't new. There had been the Pan-Hellenic Union, established in 1907, butvictimized by its own fiscal mismanagement and charges that it was an agent of the Greekgovernment, it suffered an ignoble end before the outbreak of World War I.

Both men agreed that a truly American fraternity of Greeks was needed. They envisioneda national group that would enable its members to rise above the political fights betweenMonarchists and Venizelists that typified Greek-American community life and added to itsown detriment. Both believed something that so many immigrants refused to admit - thatGreek settlers were here to stay. This was a reality that the Greek community in the UnitedStates was slow to accept.

The remarkable thing is that these two businessmen, determined to contribute toAmerican society and not be devoured by it, didn't just talk - they acted. They presented theidea to a group of twenty-five members of the Atlanta Greek community. Seventeen menoffered their support. This group met in closed session and on July 26, 1922, the AmericanHellenic Educational Progressive Association, The Order of AHEPA, became a reality.

TThhee ooffffiicceerrss eelleecctteedd wweerree::ñ President – Nicholas B. Chotasñ Secretary – Harry Angelopoulosñ Marshal – John Angelopoulos

Twenty more meetings were held that year to lay the groundwork. A Constitution and By-Laws were adopted. It was decided that members had to be United States citizens or in theprocess of becoming citizens, English was adopted as the organization’s official language,annual dues were set at $10, and officers were elected. AHEPA's first decade was characterizedby an explosive growth - initially it was a fraternity based in the south and southwest. Of the32 local chapters established between September 26, 1922 and October 14, 1923, just threewere based in cities north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Appealing to a rising middle class of Greek Americans interested in climbing theproverbial ladder of success and committed to raising their families in America, AHEPA had49 chapters and over 2,800 members by the end of 1924. By 1928 there were 192 chaptersand over 17,000 members nationwide. Many of the bigger chapters were in northern citiesand some of the larger cities were host to two or more AHEPA chapters.

The first of 83 subsequent National Conventions was held in Atlanta in 1923. The secondconclave gathered in Washington DC in September of 1924. The delegates agreed that theOrder should have its headquarters in the nation's capital, despite the fact that Washingtonhad no enormous Greek community. Seraphim Canoutas wrote in his 1918 Greek AmericanGuide, ''This community of about 600 Greeks is one of the most peace-loving and progressivein America, showing none of the absurdities which are usually seen in some of the othercommunities and colonies.'' At this convention the 47 delegates laid a wreath at the Tomb ofthe Unknown Soldier. They also called at the White House, where they were cordially receivedby President Calvin Coolidge. AHEPA was making its presence known. From it’s inception,AHEPA had its critics: people, who objected to its Masonic approach, were suspicious of it’ssecrecy, disdainful of what one dissenting voice called "Little Napoleons vying for power".Above all, the most vocal critics condemned AHEPA's unabashed Americanism.

By 1923 AHEPA had a rival: GAPA, or the Greek American Progressive Association. Alongwith publications in the Greek Press, GAPA charged that AHEPANS were ''opportunists" -"pseudo-patriots'' and "anti-Hellenes committed to a program of de-Hellenization.'' AHEPA'spublications were in English. GAPA's publications were in Greek. Greek was heard more or lessexclusively at GAPA meetings. GAPA chose to openly ally itself with the Greek OrthodoxChurch in America; an institution that in the 1920s admittedly needed support. AHEPAmaintained its distance from religious affairs. GAPA made its headquarters in Pittsburgh,where it was founded, amid a large Greek community. AHEPA had quickly opted forWashington.

The Royalist - Venizelist controversies having become a thing of the past, the rivalrybetween AHEPA and GAPA now kept community affairs lively and sometimes hostile.Alhough by 1928 GAPA had organized fifty chapters, primarily in cities with large Greekpopulations, it never achieved the success AHEPA enjoyed.

AHEPA would prove itself to be inherently better suited than it’s rival GAPA, for thetransition from a strictly Greek-born membership to one that accommodated Greeks born inthe old country as well as members born in the New World. It would prove to be more in tunewith what it recognized early on was the inevitability of assimilation, resulting from anundeniably permanent residence in a multi-national country such as the United States.

Nor was AHEPA as radical as its detractors charged. Following it’s initial super-patriotismof it’s adopted homeland, AHEPA adopted a more moderate blend of what its membersconsidered the most positive aspects of both the Hellenic and American cultures.

In 1924, AHEPA President, V.J. Chebithes appealed to chapters to sponsor Greek orphansleft homeless following the Asia Minor disaster of two years earlier. Five dollars a month wasrequired to sponsor a child, and some AHEPA chapters sponsored as many as thirty. The "Faso"hat was adopted as an emblem for its members.

At its 1925 Convention in Chicago AHEPA urged the U.S. government to extend a $50million loan to Greece and the aid was approved. $12,000 was appropriated for a ScholarshipFund. In an effort to keep peace in the volatile Greek American community, AHEPA tookpains to emphasize the fact that it did not oppose the existence of the foreign-language pressin the United States.

MOTHER LODGE, July 26, 1922

At the 1926 Convention in Philadelphia a Junior Order, the Sons ofPericles, was organized for the 12-21 age group. The first Sons of PericlesChapter was established on February 3, 1926 in Manchester, NewHampshire. The Sons of Pericles was officially recognized as the Junior Orderof AHEPA in 1928.

Shortly thereafter, AHEPA added Auxiliaries for women. The Daughtersof Penelope and the Maids of Athena completed the circle of the "AHEPAFamily," Established November 16, 1929 as the Women's Affiliate ofAHEPA, the Daughters of Penelope is the first Greek-American women'sorganization in the United States. The Maids of Athena was founded July 5,1930 as the AHEPA Junior Women's Auxiliary.

In 1927 AHEPA raised more than $53,000 for charitable andphilanthropic activities. The $1000 set aside for scholarships was raised to$2500. A bi-weekly bulletin was established. A vote for $1000 was set asidefor historical research was passed.

In 1928, in a matter of a few critical months, themembers pooled over $40,000 to aid the city of Corinth,which had been devastated by an earthquake. AHEPAwas making a difference, assisting its members on bothsides of the Atlantic. They honored the memory of theGreek American hero of the WW1 George Dilboy. TheSupreme Lodge collected $100,000 for scholarships foryouths of Greek origin; it established the Hellenic Hall atthe University of Pittsburgh. It decided to hold anannual banquet in Washington to honor governmentofficials and other personalities. The first annual trip toGreece took place in spring 1928; this group ofAHEPANS was led by newly elected Supreme President

In 1929 a corp of AHEPANs marched in President HerbertHoover's inaugural parade - an all time ''first'' for any Hellenic-American group, It was a very proud occasion that also included a visitto the White House.

In the ensuing years AHEPA built a stronger, more visible profilein Washington. Seventy-five Senators and Congressmen attended theOrder's first Congressional Banquet, organized by George C. Vournas.Today that biennial event is an AHEPA tradition. In recent yearshonorees have included President Lyndon Johnson, Vice PresidentsSpiro Agnew (whose father, Theodore, helped found Baltimore'sAHEPA Chapter No. 30 in 1922) and Hubert Humphrey, former GreekPrime Minister the late Constantine Karamanlis, PatriarchAthenagoras and comedian - humanitarian Bob Hope.

In 1932 AHEPA, building on it’s growing grassrootsmembership across the country, took public positions onissues raised by the reports of The Wickersham Commission onLaw Observance and Enforcement, thereby becoming therecognized spokesman for the views of the Greek-Americancommunity and proving that AHEPA had become an activeanti-defamation group which the Greek-American communitynever before had.

AHEPA's friendly, indeed brotherly relations withPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt also enhanced theorganization's stature. FDR had been initiated as a member ofAHEPA when he was Governor of New York; AHEPA's regularvisits to the Oval Office took on an added significance.

The dark days of World War II changed many a life,galvanizing the AHEPA membership and demonstrating just how

much such an organization could achieve. The poignant turning point for Greek Americanscame more than a year before Pearl Harbor. On October 28, 1940 Mussolini's troops invadedGreece from the north. That day is still remembered and revered as "Ohi Day".

An AHEPA visit to President Roosevelt, a short time after brought about what the WhiteHouse termed "an unusual procedure" and FDR announced a promise of U.S. aid to Greece inher hour of peril.

The Greeks fought the Italians for five months and dealt Mussolini utter defeat. Theymanaged to hold off Hitler's massive war machine for another three weeks before beingoverwhelmed,. That heroism captured the world's admiration.

The Greek War Relief Association (GWRA), spearheaded by the Skouras brothers andother AHEPANs in the movie theatre business raised $4 million in food and supplies as soonas May 1941. AHEPANs in various businesses donated a day's or a week's profits to the cause,and many contributions came from non-Greeks. AHEPANs provided about 90% of the laborforce in GWRA efforts, speculated historian Theodore Saloutos, thanks again to it’s grassrootsstrength.

AHEPA's 1942 convention, celebrating the Order's 20th Anniversary, was held in Atlanta.George Vournas of Washington DC was elected President and would lead the organizationthrough the war years.

At the Atlanta convention it was announced that the Treasury Department had namedAHEPA an official Issuing Agent for U.S. War Bonds, an honor achieved by no other civicorganization. Quotas were assigned to each chapter to reach a goal of $50 million in only fourmonths.

Steve Vasilakos, dubbed "AHEPA's No. I War Bond Salesman" had long been a familiarface in front of the White House, selling peanuts from his pushcart He offered a free bag ofgoobers to each person who bought a bond. His first customer was Sam Rayburn, Speaker ofthe House of Representatives. The exchange was seen at the movies on the newsreel. Therewere many more customers, and the successful drive was extended.

in twelve months. In Zanesville Ohio, an AHEPAN sold$44,566 worth of War bonds in one day. Ultimately theproject brought in revenues of $500 million.

The success of the War Bond drive launched a newera for AHEPA - an era of increased visibility, influenceand involvement in Washington that continues to thisday. In its so-called first phase, from 1922 to 1945, theemphasis was on "Americanization" and citizenshipprograms. Following the War AHEPA broadened itsscope and horizons. Now over half of the membershipwas American-born. Many of AHEPA's Post-War projectswould be related to rebuilding a war-torn Greece and, incontrast to its original goal, keeping Hellenism aliveamong the American born generations of Greeks.

Following World War Il AHEPANS continuedraising money for hospitals in Greece and other Greekwar relief programs, However, civil war was raging in themotherland and AHEPANs were concerned, as was theTruman Administration. On March 12, 1947 PresidentTruman appealed to Congress for immediate militaryaid. Congress came through and the Truman Doctrine, asit came to be known, was vital in saving Greece fromCommunism.

AHEPA maintained the warmest of relations with Truman, who was initiated into theOrder on Greek Independence Day - March 25, 1946, When the President addressed AHEPA'sCongressional Banquet, he said, "I've never had a more enthusiastic reception anywhere!"

That year AHEPA's first Health Center opened in Chrysoupolis, in northern Greece.Construction began on an AHEPA Wing at Athens' Evangelismos Hospital. Other health centerswere rising, though construction was often slowed and sometimes halted by guerilla attacks.

AHEPA had come of age; there was no question about the loyalty of Greek-Americans tothe United States or about citizenship. The reason for establishing such an organization wasnow a proud memory and AHEPA's enduring legacy.

AHEPA continued its educational and humanitarian efforts and civic-minded programs,focusing much of its energy on a homeland in desperate need of help.

In the vanguard, AHEPA passed a resolution urging self-determination for Cyprus as earlyas 1946, setting up a Cyprus Affairs Committee two years later. In 1950 AHEPA called theworld's attention to the estimated 28,000 children abducted by Communist forces in theGreek Civil War. In 1964 AHEPA sent its first delegation to Cyprus.

In the last fifteen + years, demonstrating an increasing sense of unity not alwayscharacteristic of the inner workings of AHEPA in previous years, the organization has workedto become a bridge between the Greek and American people and their governments.

In an effort to inform the Greek-American community, as well as the larger Americancommunity and the Washington community in particular, AHEPA sponsors conferences onforeign affairs that bring together government officials, political scientists, leadingjournalists and, of course, AHEPANS.

Nor is it uncommon to find AHEPA leaders testifying on Capitol Hill before the HouseSubcommittee on Europe and the Middle East or the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

AHEPA's official voice is its magazine, the AHEPAN. The first issue of the AHEPAN, editedby Achilles Catsonis, was published 61 years ago.

In addition to press releases, salvos fired off to government officials and letters to theeditors of the Wall Street journal, the New York Times and other publications, large and small,AHEPA publishes its own materials, The most recent offering was Cyprus: "FromIndependence to Partition" by University of Indiana-Purdue University Professor VanCoufoudakis. ''These publications aim to educate arid inform,'' says Thomas L. Chase formerChairman of the AHEPA Cyprus and Hellenic Affairs Committee, ''They form an importantpart of AHEPA's overall program.''

Indeed, education, in a variety of forms, has been one of AHEPA’s pillars since the verybeginning. AHEPA started out educating the immigrant, and acclimmating him, as AHEPA

13

AHEPA wing of "EVANGELISMOS" hospital

chronicler George J. Leber phrased it, "making him a gentleman".In the early years, AHEPA's education program emphasized

citizenship and Greek as well as American history. Today it's a differentstory. With the third and fourth generations of Greek- Americans comingof age, AHEPA is doing precisely what GAPA accused it of not doing andactually working against: - that is, promoting and preserving Hellenism'sspirits and values as it’s Prime Ministers and Ambassadors.

Scholarships have been part of AHEPA's civic service since the ChicagoConvention of 1925. Paralleling that, AHEPA began building the bridgeback to the motherland in 1928, when over 500 AHEPANs set sail aboardthe S.S. Sinaia. Those days, before the Concord and Super-Savers, it wasquite an event – AHEPA’S first Pilgrimage.

Today AHEPA gives scholarships on the local and national levels topromising Greek American students. Its "Journey to Greece'' program, forhigh school students, emphasizes Hellenic culture, history and language.

AHEPA and individual AHEPANs have been a force in establishingGreek and Byzantine Studies programs at colleges and universities aroundthe country.

AHEPA has been re-focusing too, placing renewed emphasis onHellenic culture, past and present. The AHEPA Cultural Foundation hassponsored an evening of Greek poetry and music at Wolftrap and lectureson archaeological finds in Cyprus.

As a civic-minded group, AHEPA has always recognized Americans,Greek and non-Greek, who make valuable contributions to the communityand society at large. These have included Presidents humanitarians,recipients of the AHEPA award made in the name of Socrates and Pericles.

The athlete has a very special place in Greek history and culture and,with AHEPA, so it remains. The Order has always taken enormous pride in the achievementsof the Greek American athlete, going back to the heyday of world class wrestler Jim Londos.AHEPA's Harry Agganis Award was established in 1955, in memory of the great all-Americanwho died in his prime. Agganis honorees have included: in football, Detroit Lion Alex Karras;in basketball, Boston Celtic Lou Tsiropoulos; and in baseball, Baltimore Oriole Milt Pappas.Among recent recipients are Olympic diver Greg Louganis and University of Georgia footballcoach and All-American Mike Castronis. The William G, Chirgotis Award, made tooutstanding collegiate athletes, was established in 1972. AHEPA also recognizes outstandingprofessional and amateur women in athletics. On the local, district and national levels,AHEPA and its junior orders sponsor a wide variety of athletic events and tournaments,believing, like the ancient Greeks, that sports and competition are an important part of dailyand civic life.

Nor has AHEPA forgotten the elderly. Facilities are being sponsored on the local level inconjunction with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).St.Michael's Home for the Aged, operated by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and SouthAmerica has also prospered thanks, in part to AHEPA funding.

Devoted to ideals of American and Hellenic culture, education and progress, AHEPA,despite its critics, has achieved singular success. Since 1922 it has been a vital force in the lifeof the Greek American community.

Summing up the Order of AHEPA, Theodore Saloutos wrote: ''More than anything else,through the years, it accomplished more in identifying Greek Americans with the greaterAmerican community, than did all the other organizations combined."

AHEPA - NOWThe American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA) has become the largestand oldest American-based, Greek heritage grassroots membership organization. Its scope isinternational with chapters in the United States, Canada, Greece, and Cyprus, and "sister"chapters in Australia and New Zealand under the auspices of AHEPA Australia.

Today, AHEPA brings the ideals of ancient Greece, which include philanthropy,education, civic responsibility, family and individual excellence to the community.

Although a majority of the membership is composed of Americans of Greek descent,application for membership is open to anyone who believes in the mission of the organization.

MISSIONThe mission of the AHEPA Family is to promote Hellenism, Education, Philanthropy, CivicResponsibility, and Family and Individual Excellence.

HELLENISM An important component of AHEPA's mission is to create an awareness of the principles ofHellenism to society. These principles include a commitment to humanity, freedom, anddemocracy. The preservation and promotion of these ideals is where AHEPA has, and alwayswill be, deeply committed.

AHEPA educates the community on these matters through symposia, forums, andconferences.

EDUCATION – SCHOLARSHIPSAHEPA's commitment to education has been well documented throughout its history. Over $4million is endowed at the local, district and national levels toward the use of scholarships anda half-million dollars is awarded annually. Thousands of young men and women havebenefited as recipients of AHEPA scholarships at these various levels. The most famousrecipient, perhaps, is ABC News’ Host of "This Week" George Stephanopoulos.

The scholarship program at the national level is administered by AHEPA's NationalEducational Foundation. It offers scholarships to a wide variety of students. Recipients are:traditional and non-traditional students; seminarians, including those entering Holy CrossGreek School of Theology; and high school seniors, college and post-graduate students who arelooking to become tomorrow's leaders.

The preservation of Hellenic or Classical Studies programs on college campuses is animportant issue for the AHEPA Educational Foundation. A subcommittee of the Foundation, theHellenic Cultural Commission, actively works to support the study of the Classics at universities.

In addition, educational programs such as "Journey to Greece" andWashington Internships have been sponsored by the Foundation.

PHILANTHROPY Philanthropy and volunteerism have been pillars of strength for AHEPA.From natural disaster relief to raising funds for the elimination of life-threatening diseases to making significant contributions to our localneighborhoods, AHEPA is at the forefront of charitable giving.

AHEPA's philanthropic deeds are evident in the restoration of theStatue of Liberty and Ellis Island; in the Halls of St. Basil Academy, achildcare facility in Garrison, N.Y.; in the care packages we sent to ourtroops in cooperation with the USO; and in the building of healthcarefacilities in Greece. Yet this only scratches the surface of the numerousphilanthropic works of the association. In addition, countless charitableprojects are undertaken every year by AHEPA's chapters and districts.

CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY Our grassroots organization has a strong voice. With chapters in every major metropolitancity and in rural areas of North America, AHEPA communicates the positions of the Greek-American community to elected representatives at the federal, state, and local levels, as well

as to our diplomatic leaders. These issues pertain to Greece, Cyprus, and Turkey;however, our constituents are also interested in domestic policy areas affectingthe philanthropic, civic, and community service-based programs in which theyare involved. These positions are based upon our American heritage and idealswith the best interest of the United States in mind.

AHEPA educates its constituents about these issues through seminars andconferences, providing expert panelists from the U.S. government, prominentWashington, DC Think-Tank organizations, and the business world.

Furthermore, AHEPA keeps a watchful eye on Congress with itsCongressional Scorecard, a tool that evaluates each member of Congress onGreek-American issues.

Family and Individual Excellence What makes AHEPA unique from other organizations is the creation of the

AHEPA Family. Together with three affiliated organizations, the AHEPA Familyworks as a unit toward the fulfillment of a common mission. Combined, the fourorganizations have contributed well over a billion dollars to national projectsthroughout their history.

The Ideals of Ancient Greece Important to AllAHEPA members are proud of the contributions of the ancient Greeks to Western Civilization.As Americans, we share many of the values put forth by them: civic responsibility,philanthropy, education, family and individual excellence, and the ideals of democracy. Thisis the essence of our heritage. This is the core of our mission.

Moreover, throughout the span of its history, AHEPA has served as a vital vehicle for theprogressive development and emergence of American citizens of Greek heritage into everyfacet of society: government, business, education, and the arts. This fulfillment illustrates thepromise of the "American Dream" and symbolizes the hard work ethic of our immigrantforebears who labored to achieve that dream with the principles of Hellenism rooted deep intheir hearts.

OUR MISSIONThe mission of AAHHEEPPAA NNaattiioonnaall HHoouussiinngg CCoorrppoorraattiioonn ((AANNHHCC)) is to provide affordablehousing for the low-income elderly and disabled persons, and to insure that they receive theservices designed to meet their physical and social needs.

The ANHC is a non-profit corporation founded in 1983 with a goal to improve the qualityof life for the elderly and handicapped by promoting their health, security, happiness, andusefulness in longer living. We believe that senior citizens should be able to liveindependently with dignity, even on a modest income.

At present, our organization has 74 projects in 20 states totaling 4,059 apartment units,of which 62 projects are in operation which total 3,409 units. The remaining projects are atvarious stages of development...

OUR HISTORYAHEPA initiated its efforts in the development of the Section 202 multifamily housing for low-income elderly in 1980. AHEPA's first project, known as AHEPA 53 Apartments, consists of 117units and is located in St Louis MO. The project was funded in September 1980, went into initialendorsement in May 1981, and was ready for occupancy by April 1982. The name AHEPA 53Apartments reflects the local AHEPA chapter that was instrumental in obtaining the funding forthis project and continues to provide local support for the project and its residents.

Based on the success of this initial effort, The Order of AHEPA subsequently created theAHEPA National Housing Corporation (ANHC), to act as its official development vehicle inthe development of Section 202 elderly housing. The ANHC was chartered as a not-for-profit501c 3 organization in the District of Columbia in 1983. Through its sponsorship andassistance to local chapters, the AHEPA Housing program has grown to its present size. In1991 the success of the program led ANHC to form a wholly owned subsidiary, the AHEPAManagement Company, Inc. (AMC) to manage those projects in operation and future projects.Thus ANHC could now concentrate on the development of new projects and the overalladministration of the housing program, all on a volunteer basis.

The organization, whose members are the presiding presidents of each of the operatingchapter corporations, annually elect officers and three directors who make up the executiveboard. All are volunteers. The AMC contracts with the project to become the managing agent ofthe property once it is operational. It hires and trains project managers, and maintenancepersonnel. It keeps up-to-date on the ever-changing governmental rules and regulationsgoverning federally funded facilities. ANHC takes a leadership role in identifying and adoptingdesign improvements and services. The AMC on-site and Headquarters personnel handle the

financial and accounting analysis, budgeting, computer expertise,marketing, and public relations. The employees of AMC are paidprofessionals in their respective field. Thus the AHEPA housing program,through the hard work of early volunteers, has rapidly developed into thepremier program of the Order of AHEPA. It hopes to continue to expand andassist more chapters to participate in this worthwhile program so beneficialto senior citizens.

AHEPA Centennial Foundation The AHEPA Centennial Foundation, Inc., is responsible for the idea,creation and construction of two monuments honoring significant eventsin our Hellenic history.

First, "Tribute," a $775,000 sculpture that was gift from Greek-Americans to the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympic Games to commemoratethe Centennial Anniversary of the modern Olympic Games and to salutethe spirit of The Olympics. "Tribute" is in the Centennial Olympic Park inAtlanta. It's fan-like design has been credited for saving the lives of

innocent bystanders during the Olympic Park Bombing. Weencourage you to visit "Tribute" and Centennial Olympic Park on anyvisit to Atlanta, and to share in the spirit of Hellenism.

A second project completed by the AHEPA CentennialFoundation was the dedication of the George C. Marshal Statue inOctober 2000. The Marshal Statue rests on the grounds of the UnitedStates Embassy in Athens, and is a testament to the legendarystatesman who was the architect of the Marshal Plan. Through theCentennial Foundation, the Greek-American community raised$110,000 to complete this worthy project that symbolizes thedecades of friendship and close relations between the United Statesand Greece.

Charitable Foundation Through its Charitable Foundation, AHEPA has been able to fulfillthe philanthropic portion of it’s mission and serve the community by making donations toworthy causes and endeavors.

Recent acts of philanthropy spearheaded by AHEPA include:■ $10,000 raised for Operation USO Care Package program in 2003■ AHEPA raised over $150,000 for 9/11 Relief ■ $50,000 to the September 11th Anniversary Fund ■ $25,000 to the New York State World Trade Center Relief Fund ■ $25,000 to help rebuild St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, New York■ $10,000 to the Pentagon Memorial Relief Fund ■ $40,000 donated by chapters to various local, regional, and national relief agencies 9/11

Hellenic-American Veterans Of Valor The Hellenic-American Veterans of Valor will honor all Hellenes and Hellenic-Americans whoserved honorably and unselfishly in the Armed Forces of the United States. This project hastwo parts: 1) WWII Statue and 2) Hellenic-American Museum of Valor. It is being sponsoredby District No. 21.

The WWII Statue will honor the Greek-American Operation Group (OSS) and all Helleneswho fought in this war. The Greek-American Operations Group (also known as the GreekBattalion) was composed of Greek immigrants and Greek-Americans who were recruited,trained and deployed behind enemy lines in Greece to help organize, train and fight with theGreek Resistance. The preferred site for the statue would be as part of the WWII Memorial inWashington, DC.

The Hellenic-American Museum of Valor is a museum to record and maintain the recordsof all Hellenes who served in all U.S. wars and conflicts.Veterans receiving the nation's highest decorations forheroism will be identified and have a special place in themuseum. It will provide a historical perspective of theHellenic immigrant, Hellenic-American and Phil-Helleneby documenting their contributions to freedom andliberty.

The Kyklos Circle of Glory sculpture honors theOlympics and the spirit of AHEPA. It was placed at thenew airport in Athens, Greece, (the most modern inEurope) that was completed in 2002 in preparation forthe return of the Modern Olympic Games to Athens for theMemorable 2004 Olympic Games.

THE MAIDS OF ATHENATHE MAIDS OF ATHENA, was founded through the inspiration of Mr. Thomas D. Lentgis,Supreme Governor of the Order of AHEPA, on July 5, 1930 in Tacoma, Washington. At thattime Sparta #1 was formed with 12 original members; however, a charter was not granteduntil November 18, 1937. Charters were also granted to Alethea #2, Seattle, Washington;Diana #3, Portland, Oregon; and Ariadne #4, Vancouver, British Columbia.

The first constitution and ritual were written in 1935. By the end of 1937 there were 20chapters with a total membership of 444. Ath the 1950 Supreme Convention in Cleveland, theMaids of Athena officially became the Junior Auxiliary of the Daughters of Penelope. In 1953,the first National Conference of the Maids of Athena was held in Houston, Texas. At the 1954Pittsburgh Convention, the first Grand Lodge of the Maids of Athena was elected. Today thereare more than 100 Chapters located throughout North America and Greece.

He helped the fledging new youth group with theirdealings with other organizations as well as with the Order of AHEPA. His goal and the goal ofthe Sons of Pericles is to promote Hellenism to the youth and to keep the fire of ourMotherland burning for generations to come. Together with the aid of some members of theOrder of AHEPA from the Manchester, New Hampshire, Chapter, these young men were thefirst members of the Order and are known collectively as The Mother Lodge of the Sons ofPericles.

THE MOTHER LODGE OF THE SONS OF PERICLESThe first chapter named itself the Queen City Chapter #1. Its first officerswere installed on February 3, 1926. Within a year, the first NationalConvention was held in Lowell, MA with 14 Chapters in the fraternity. In1928, in Detroit, MI, the Sons were officially recognized as the Junior Orderof AHEPA. In 1932 at the National Convention in Akron, OH, the Orderexpanded its jurisdiction into Montreal, Canada, thereby making it thefirst international Greek Youth Organization in the world.

DAUGHTERS OF PENELOPE

By Mrs. Maria Haritidu, District GovernorThe Daughters of Penelope is the women’s affiliate organization of the AHEPA family whichmeans American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association. It was founded on the 16th ofNovember, 1929, in San Francisco, United States, by Alexandra Aposolides-Sonenfeld withthe cooperation of her husband Dr. Emmanuel Apostolides, who was an AHEPAN. TheDaughters of Penelope is an international organization.

Nine thousand women are members. Today more than 400 Chapters in the USA, Canada,Australia and Greece. They participate in local community projects peacefully and creatively.The main offices of the Daughters of Penelope are in Washington, D.C.

The Order is identified by a symbol portraying the Head of Penelope in ancient headdresssymbolizing woman as the foundation of life, family and homeland, and which basiccharacteristics are patience and faith . Encircling the Head of Penelope is the olive wreath,which was the prize for the winners of the Ancient Olympic Games. The Cross is significant ofour Christian faith and the Crossed Sabers symbolize the Greek Nation. The Eagle is thesymbol of the United States and the letters _._. (Theta, Pi) stand for “Thigateres tis Pinelopis”which translated means “The Daughters of Penelope”.

The goals of the Organization are to promote the social, ethical and intellectual interest ofit’s members, to cultivate citizenship and patriotism in the countries where Chapters exist. Tokeep alive the memory of the contribution of Hellenism to the world’s culture. To reinforceClassical Studies and not to allow people to forget an ancient Greek phrase which means“THEY GAVE ME THE GREEK LANGUAGE”.

The Daughters is non-partisan and non-denominational. It is a powerful Organization which,along with the love of it’s members for their newhomeland, stands for Greece, and breathes and liveswith Greece. It is 1,000 little hidden ‘Greeces’ scatteredIt is little sparks that become big fires when the sacredtenets of our small, but also very large, and alwaysbeloved homeland, which with the bleeding of herheart, subscribed her magnificence, are threatened.

Part of this Organization is District #25 “Hellas-Cyprus”. It’s Chapters are scattered around Greecewith the first and oldest being #271 “Karyatides”(1953) and Chapter #359 “Hesperus” (1981) in Athens.Following were #383 “Vergina” (1993) in Veria, #393“Olympiades” (1996) in Thessaloniki, #406 “Sparti”(2003) in Sparti, #407 “Faistiades” (2004) inHalkidiki, #408 “Elimeiades” (2005) in Kozani. InThessaloniki we established the first, and until now,the only Chapter for young women (Maids of Athena_with the name #268 “Myrtalides” (2001). Existing butinactive but with good future prospects for become

active again are Chapters #381 “Pythia” in Nafpaktos, #382 “Nafsika” in Kerkyra and #404“Alasia” in Cyprus.

New Chapters are being organized in other cities in Greece. District #25 “Hellas-Cyprus”of The Daughters of Penelope is relatively new. It is only five years old. The Initiation Datewas fixed by The Grand Lodge of the Daughters of Penelope as 2001 with the election of thefirst Executive Board of the District, with which it’s reelection in 2002 stayed in charge until2003. It was composed of the following:

Histransportation to Shriner’s Hospital, Boston, USA cost ú1,100. Our appeal forassistance was answered. The Daughters of Penelope from the United States respondedwith fervor and the hospital whose philosophy is “there is no price for the life of a child.Embrace the child, cure the child and rehabilitate the child”.

ATHENS CHAPTER HJ-01

By Mr. George Costas, PresidentThe first AHEPA Chapter in Greece was established in Athens on April 16, 1962 establishingthe Hellenic Jurisdiction outside of the USA similar to the Canadian Jurisdiction. As most ofthe original members and leaders are now gone, our historical information is limited torecollections of stories told and remembered by the few remaining.

The Athens Chapter of AHEPA promotes all of the goals of the AHEPA family. To achievethese goals, a large and powerful organization is needed. Our main concern, from the start ofthe millennium, was to enroll new members; and we have reached that goal to our satisfaction.We have also urged our members to be more active so that we can better achieve our goals.

Some examples of our work are as follows:■ Hosted Supreme President Johnny Economy and visiting delegation.■ Under the AHEPA reforestation project in Attica, Supreme President Johnny Economy ofthe American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA), Athens Mayor DimitrisAvramopoulos and U.S. Ambassador to Greece, R. Nicholas Burns planted the first thirty ofseveral hundred thousand trees which grace the slopes of Mount Ymittos, thanks to the effortsof the Greek-American advocacy group “Plant Your Roots in Greece”.“I salute AHEPA for having the vision and drive to raise the funds for this very importantproject,” said Ambassador Burns before the ceremony. “The money for this valuable effortcomes from the generosity of the Greek-American community, which has outdone itself in itscommitment to reversing the damage caused by devastating forest fires.” He added that theplanting also complemented the joint U.S.-Greek fire-fighting training, which had taken placethe previous month.■ In April of 2001 AHEPA & ACS Alumni Association hosted a fundraiser at REX concert hallwith Despina Vandi, to support ACS students■ At a welcoming ceremony for former President George Bush and his wife Barbara at the U.S.Embassy in Athens, Greece, U.S. Ambassador R. Nicholas Burns singled out AHEPA as thelargest Greek-American organization and the organization that made the Marshall Statue inAthens possible.

CHAPTER HJ-03 , “ALEXANDER THE GREAT”

By Mr. Constantine Economou , President of HJ-03Chapter HJ-3, «Alexander the Great» of Thessaloniki, was founded in December 1998 andconsisted of 22 members. Its establishment opened the way to officially create District 25Hellas-Cyprus. The founding Board had as President Mr. K. Yakoumis, Vice President Dr.Alfred Barich, Gen Secretary Mr. Eric Theodorides, Treasurer Mr. Taso Anagnostopoulos andCorrespondence Secretary Mr. Theodore Tsamourtzi.

■ It’s first big event was in 1999 with a dinner and speech by the minister of Macedonia andThrace Mr. Magriotis, at the Macedonia Palace Hotel.■ In the year 2000 an event was organized at Anatolia College Auditorium with three keynote

speakers on health issues and Preventive Medicine. The speakers wereProfessor Leonidas Pappadopoulos, Dr. Alfred Barich and Dr. DimitrisIoannidis.■ In March of the year 2001, an event was hosted by the chapter at theHyatt Hotel honoring the U.S. Consul General Mr. John Koenig, who wasdeclared an honorary AHEPAn and was embraced by the local AHEPAfamily. He was presented an award for Community Service.■ In October of the same year, an event was organized at the Hyatt Hotel,again in an attempt to inform people after the dreadful event ofSeptember 11, about terrorism; to raise funds to send to the families of thevictims and to help reconstruct the church of St. Nicholas that wasdestroyed. Speakers where the U.S. Consul General John Koenig andspecialist in terrorism. Dr. Maria Bossi, Professor of Political Science andLaw, specializing in International Affairs and Terrorism. After her speech,Prof. Bossi fielded questions for almost an hour, assuaging many anxietiesthat had arisen in all of us by presenting the facts and giving guidelines onhow to deal with the new reality. Almost $7,000 were raised at the event and sent to Headquarters for the aforementioned purpose.■ December 6-12, HJ-3 participated in the SAE conference inThessaloniki, voicing AHEPA positions on issues at hand. HJ-3 was givena stand at the conference enabling them to interact with all the delegates.■ In February 2002 our chapter sponsored an event at the Music Hall(Megaron) organized by the State Orchestra headed by Kostas Yakoumis(former Chapter President) for the purpose of raising funds for the Friendsof the Anti-Cancer Society - Macedonia & Thrace division, to help yhrm intheir efforts to build a cancer patient hospice.

In our region, through the efforts of our Chapter, and with support ofthe United States Consulate, and Mrs. Maureen Magurany's personalefforts to improve the care of its residents, the Ag. Nektarios Institutereceived immediate and positive results for the future of the Institution.The resident's being children of varying degrees of deformity and havingkinetic as well as mental disabilities. Contacts were made locally, as wellas in the United States, for the procurement of special equipment(individually molded wheel chairs and other types of equipment). We also

attempted to secure specialized help. After a visit to the institution by DrAlfred Barich (president of HJ-3) and Mr. John Koenig (Consul General, US

Consulate), an attempt was made to secure the well being of these children. Fundraisingresulted in considerable improvement of technical facilities and Mrs. Magurany's tirelessefforts resulted in bringing more people in personal contact with the children. A meeting tookplace between Mrs. Magurany, Dr. Barich and the President of Global Volunteers.Subsequently the first team of Global Volunteers was dispatched, and Volunteers from theUnited States arrived to give their time and effort to improving the conditions and

communication with these children. The program is ongoing for the benefit of the Institutionand its residents.

This same year, HJ-3 supported the purchase of a special wheelchair for disabled(paraplegic) athletes of a local team through the efforts of the CAS program. This programarranged for a basketball game between the paraplegic athletes and students of PinewoodInternational Schools who also played in wheel chairs. Needless to say the paraplegics won bya landslide, creating awe in all the healthy spectators and securing everyone's support for theprogram.■ In March 2003 we gave a donation, after a series of fundraisers, to the Parents and Guardiansassociation of Autistic Children for the creation of a Day Care Center for Autistic Children.

In June we hosted the 4th Convention of AHEPA District #25 Hellas-Cyprus inThessaloniki, together with the Daughters of Penelope's local Chapter «Olympiades». Thosewho were able to attend the night cruise of Thessaloniki Bay after the opening ceremony wereimpressed with the beauty of our city by night and by sea. The same month, we attended anaward ceremony at the Universities' Ceremonial Amphitheater during which the Minister ofHealth, Mr. Stefanis, commended members of the staff, management, and technical personnel

of the AHEPA hospital for their tireless efforts to make the hospital one ofthe best hospitals in the area, by devoting about 30 years of their lives tothis goal. During this ceremony Dr. Alfred Barich received an award forthe continuing efforts of our Order in shaping the future of the hospitalthrough representation on the hospital Board (Dr. Barich is ourrepresentative on the hospital Board). This ceremony was the first part ina series of events commemorating the 50 years since the hospital’sfoundation.

On July 27th 2003, we sent representation to the 81st SupremeConvention of AHEPA in Phoenix, Arizona, to inform our brothers thereof our activities, and to analyze the progress of the hospital and its needs.We expounded on the 50-year commemoration of the AHEPA hospital,and invited all interested to participate. We also requested help in thefunding for several departments that require state-of- the art equipmentin order be on the cutting edge of technology and in order to be able tooffer the highest possible quality of services to their patients.

In October 2003 the 50 Year Commemoration was completed in atwo day Convention at the AHEPA Hospital where the Chief of everyDepartment and Professors from all specialties analyzed the history oftheir Departments from their inception until today. Round-table analysis

was applied to all areas of specialty. Most important was the projection from each Departmentas to their goals in the future. One of the last speeches was by Dr. Barich concerning the Orderof AHEPA, it’s relationship with the hospital in the past and what he hopes for the future.. Thatevening, on October 29, our Chapter hosted a dinner at the Hyatt Regency hotel for theUniversity Medical Faculty of the AHEPA hospital during which Dr. Barich spoke about ourOrder and presented awards to those Professors who where the cornerstone of thedevelopment of the hospital throughout the years. Together with Dr. Kaltsides and ProfessorSpanos, awards were given in a warm and emotional atmosphere. An excellent dinner andmusic followed.

Our chapter collaborates at times with SAE on various issues. It has some well establishedtraditions, such as, yearly monetary support of the American Farm School Scholarshipprogram (this year we discussed establishing a name for the support – The AHEPAScholarship). Besides this scholarship, the Thessaloniki Chapter supports the Farm Schoolevents with a strong presence.

The cultural and scientific aspect of HJ-3 is depicted through the many informativespeeches and events it hosts - from Preventive Medicine, to Historical analysis, throughout theyear. Supporting the Socratic dogma of «healthy in body, healthy in mind», HJ-3 believes andpromotes open-air cultural and historical sightseeing tours where it’s members and theirfriends can walk, think, and talk about history while enjoying themselves in the process. Fieldtrips to ancient Mieza and Aristotle's School, Fort Roupel, and Petralona Caves, are but a fewof it's frequent ventures, cultivating both body and mind (even the younger septuagenarianmembers enjoy them).

Visit by delegation of AHEPAns and Daughters of Penelope and board members of HJ-03 to the Mayor of Thessaloniki

We have a yearly Christmas Party/Dance to raise funds for various charities and worthycauses. Last year we organized our Dance together with the Macedonian - Thrace chapter ofthe Hellenic Anticancer Society. We raised ú10,000 for the Cancer Patient Hospice theSociety is building. The «General Clinic Euromedica» was the generous platinum sponsor.Many other companies such as Alumil, and various banks also donated various otheramounts.

We receive yearly visits from the Supreme Lodge and discuss the hospital needsextensively and various other projects HJ-3 is running. We usually have the honor of hostingthe Supreme President and a delegation from the Daughters of Penelope who convene with thelocal «Olympiades» Chapter while here.

We have intervened at all levels on issues concerning Hellenism, making appropriatestatements and supporting efforts aimed at rectifying positions that are anti-Hellenic,whether due to historic ignorance or clashing interests. We have submitted petitions to theUnited States Government and TheEuropean Union on various issues concerning Hellenism,such as, the Hellenic Genocide in Asia Minor, the Cyprus issue, the Theological School of Halkiand others. Recently we organized a Forum under the auspices of the Prefecture to discuss theFYROM issue, wherein it was decided to collect signatures from citizens as a gesture of theirconcern for the issue (this is ongoing).

Once again (in 2005), we hosted the 6th AHEPA District 25 Hellas - Cyprus Convention, inThessaloniki at the Hyatt Regency Resort Hotel

We have reinforced the District Lodge with 5 of our members aiming at unifying andsupporting all the Chapters in our Jurisdiction.

Our plans for the immediate future include: ■ Further support of the Ag. Nektarios Institution.■ Participation in the National Supreme Convention in Florida

in July, to sensitize our Order to the needs of this District.■ Presenting the history of our hospital by publishing it in a

widely circulated magazine with the help of the ThessalonikiMunicipalities' Historical Center.

■ The creation of a book with the history of the Order of AHEPAand its activities relating to the hospital and Greek society ingeneral.

■ The strategic use of the media to inform the Greek society ofthe existence of our Order in Greece (on-site so to say)in orderto correct the impression that we are just a powerfulorganization that is too far away to be of immediate help to theeveryday issues of the Motherland. We can play a significantrole in bridging the gap between countries and uniting ourstrength with that of the Hellenes abroad.

“KARYATIDES” CHAPTER # 271

By Mrs Nina Chiras, President.Chapter #271 “Karyatides” has the honor of being the first Chapter of the Daughters ofPenelope in Greece. We were established in 1953.

From the beginning, our main target was to establish the “PENELOPIAN”. This target wasreached with the financial help of the Daughters of Penelope in America who paid half thetotal cost. The “PENELOPIAN” was built on a plot of land donated by the AlumnaeAssociation of the American Woman’s College of Constantinople.

In the early years, the “PENELOPIAN” gave shelter to unprotected teenage girls for a periodof as long as three years. There was a total capacity for 100 girls. We had a staff of socialworkers and teachers. During these three years, these young women were taught elementaryeducation. In addition, classes in basic skills were taught in order for them to become self-

sufficient. Lessons were given in dressmaking, hand andmachine embroidery, hairdressing, handicrafts, loom-weaving and enameling works.

As times changed, so did the scope of the“PENELOPIAN”. Today the “Penelopian” is working as achild-care center for 130 children from the age of 6months until pre-school, inclusive of a kindergarten. Thechildren are from mainly working class families with verylow income who need to have a safe, clean, friendlyenvironment for their children.

This foundation has succeeded until today because ofthe voluntary aid of all the members of the KaryatidesChapter and, of course, the legacy of our office building onMouruzi Street, which was a bequest from one of ourCharter members, Mrs. Eleni Kanellopoulou who alsodonated all of the cement and sand which built the“Penelopian”. The bequest was made so that theKaryatides would always have a source of income for the“Penelopian”. There is a bust of Mrs. Kanellopoulou in thelobby. Part of the building on Mouruzi Street is rented andthe Karyatides keep the rest for their offices.

We want to take this opportunity to thank ourBrothers of AHEPA HJ-1 Athens, who have since 2003made annual donations and have just committed to repairthe roof of the “Penelopian” and make other repairs to thebuilding as needed. With it’s latest donation, AHEPA HJ-1, Athens has donated approximately ú10,000.Our Spring Tea and Fashion Show which will take place at

The Hotel Grande Bretagne on May 16th, at 6:00 p.m. All proceeds will go to the “Penelopian”. We cordially invite all AHEPA Family Sisters and Brothers to come and visit us at The

Penelopian. We want and need your support.

Hellenic Electronic Center was incorporated as a non profit organization in

the State of Delaware; USA in 1995.The vision of the HEC is to electronically

unite all the Greeks around the world such that all Hellenes can

democratically participate in the promotion and betterment of the Hellenic

being. In addition, the founders placed as an objective the creation of an

electronic union of all the major Hellenic Organizations participating as

Associated HEC Members. Finally, with various projects HEC endeavors to

promote and protect Hellenic History and Culture.

The first objective was accomplished by the creation of a sophisticated

network of 35,000 Hellenes and Philhellenes from 88 various countries

and located into 120 various forums (lists). The second objective attracted

several major organizations like Ahepa-Hellas, PanMacedonian, SAE

North and South America, Syllogos Constantinopolitan and others.

Finally, the most successful branch of HEC was the creation of several

projects at which the mentioned Organizations acted as organizers and

supporters. A few of the most successful programs are the following:

www.greece.org/genocide March, 20011.- Requested from the Greek Government in 2001 to keep the word

"Hellenic Genocide" within the text of Greek Law 2645/98, which is the

basis of Greek legislation regarding the Hellenic Genocide.

www.greece.org/themis/halki 20022.- Organized and disseminated an online Petition to the Governments of

Turkey, the US and EU nations regarding the continuing illegal closure of

the Greek Orthodox seminary at HALKI. This petition in 2001 collected

over 50,000 signatures from 65 countries.

www.greece.org/themis/macedonia/ MAY, 20033.- Organized the MACEDONIAN petition in 2002 regarding the

usurpation of the name and legacy of MACEDONIA from Hellenism. This

petition collected 35,000 signatures from 64 countries

www.greece.cyprus/themis/cyprus/annan/ 20034.- Organized and disseminated the CYPRUS/ANNAN petition online in

2003, which, in a number of days, collected over 7,000 signatures.

www.greece.org/themis/alabama October, 20015.- Persuaded the Governor of Alabama, again, by way of an HEC

coordinated appeal to Greek Americans and their organizations, to recall

his "Memorial Proclamation" that stated that millions of Turks were

victims of Genocide in Asia Minor, thereby equating the perpetrators with

the victims of the Genocide and prevailing upon him to ask forgiveness

from the Greek, Armenian and Assyrian American communities for this

historical error.

www.un.int/fyrom February 20056.- The United Nations (UN) had listed among its members Fyrom as

Macedonia, while their web page featured the following website:

www.un.int/macedonia A campaign organized by the forum of Professors

and PhDs forced the UN to comply with its own resolution and to replace

the name Macedonia with FYROM.

http://www.greece.org/themis/letter.jpg April, 20017.- Prevailed upon the History Channel to replace their outrageous and

insulting annual Christmas Spectacular statement that "St. Nicholas was a

Turkish Bishop" with the accurate "St. Nicholas was a Greek Bishop".

http://www.greece.org/Themis/rooney.html May,

20018.- Forced Andy Rooney of CBS' "60 Minutes" to publicly apologize for

calling Greek religious art "Turkish" in his nationally broadcast

commentary. After an HEC coordinated effort, Rooney finally relented.

Rooney stated: "To Err is human, to forgive is divine. Greeks, please be

divine and forgive me."

December 2004/January 20059. Sunday Times of London published a misleading article claiming that

Santa Claus (Saint Nicholas) was a Turkish Saint. Dozens of our members

wrote in to complain and to correct this inaccuracy. As a result, the

following month, the Sunday Times published a correction.

http://www.greece.org/cyprus/USTrade.htm

February 200511.- As a result of our campaign of protest, over 150 letters were sent by

our members and supporters to representatives of the American

Companies that were invited to visit the occupied areas of the Republic of

Cyprus, illegally, so as to set up trade with the puppet occupation regime

and its vessels. The visit of the US companies was cancelled.

http://www.greece.org/hec/admin/docs/papouliasgr

eek.doc April 7, 200512.- One hundred fifty seven HEC Professors, PhDs and MDs sent the above

letter to the President of the Hellenic Republic, Dr. Karolos Papoulias,

expressing their concerns about national issues.

If you wish to support the work of HEC you have two ways. First you can

HELLENIC ELECTRONIC CENTER (HEC)

HISTORY OF THE GREEK MARATHON

In 490 B.C. an army from Persia landed on the plain of Marathon, 42 km. from Athens, withthe intention of capturing and enslaving that city. The Athenians prepared for a battle thatwould determine the course of history for centuries to come. A victory for the powerful PersianEmpire could destroy the independence of the Greek city-states and effectively end Greekcivilization. The Athenian army attacked the vastly larger Persian forces while the Persianswere still preparing for battle. Against great odds, the Greeks prevailed. The Greek Army thendispatched a herald named Pheidippides to run from Marathon to Athens to carry the news oftheir great victory. According to legend, he reached the city, said, "We Won", and fell to theground dead. In the nineteenth century Robert Browning wrote in his Dramatic Idylls ofPheidippides' dash to Athens, his announcement of victory, and his death. It was this poemwhich inspired Baron Pierre de Courbertin and other founders of the modern Olympic Gamesto invent a running race of 42 km called the Marathon.

This year a great new marathon is being born. The "Alexander The Great" Marathon(ATGM) is being held for the first time, in Thessaloniki, Greece, on the 16th of April 2006. ThisMarathon emerges now, to pass on the message of Greece to the whole world. The "Alexanderthe Great Marathon" unites the past with the present, crossing via 42 km, more than 2500years of the history of Macedonia and of Hellenism.

Pella, the birthplace and capital of the glorious Army Commander Alexandros is thestarting point, and Thessaloniki, the actual capital of Macedonia, hosts the finish of the newrace for the marathon-runners. The "Alexander the Great Marathon" intends to follow theglorious path of its contestants annually and to function within the international athleticsphere as a means of interaction amongst all people believing in the classic values of sport andculture.
