3. AHEPA Observes OXI Day;FDR’s Words about Greec Defiance Remembered.
WASHINGTON - Supreme President Dr. John Grossomanides issued the following statement on the 71st anniversary of "OXI Day" when Greece issued a defiant "No" to the evils of fascism presented by the Axis powers, and instead, said "Yes" to freedom on October 28, 1940. The Greeks successfully fought back against the Italian army, pushing the invaders back into Albania after one week. It would prove to be a costly military campaign for the Axis power. (go to www.AHEPA.org for the full story)

4. VERY IMPORTANT! Dues statements recently were
sent to those members still owing for 2011 as well
as a few for 2010. Thanks to the Brother AHEPANS
who sent in their dues checks, but we still have
many who have yet to do so! We need your help and
value your support! Please remit your dues.

5. Congratulations and welcome to Brother Robert
Gritzmacher on his initiation into the ORDER OF AHEPA
Chapter 43. His words on what joining AHEPA meant to
him were inspiring.
