AHEPA - James Plevritis Evzone Chapter # 405
Purpose or Mission Statement:
The AHEPA is committed to Education, Hellenism and Service to the Community. Education is AHEPA's middle name and we sponsor a number of scholarships and honor our graduates annually with a luncheon. Community service is also important. As Christians living in America, we have received so much and community service is only being grateful and giving back. Hellenism is not just our heritage, it is a philosophy and an ideal as well. It is an appreciation of the worth of the individual, the pursuit of truth in everything, an appreciation of perfect beauty, advocating the concepts of freedom and self-government, using ethics as a guiding principle and the never ending pursuit of learning.
Meeting Dates:
Generally every third Thursday of each month - except during the summer (July and August)
Special Events:
Annually in December, we have a recognition luncheon at the Westchester Country Club honoring an outstanding member of the community - most recently we have honored George Allen and Tom Dushas - both were former Chapter and Community Presidents.
In 2011 our Chapter will celebrate our 50th year. We represent one of the largest and fastest growing chapters in the tri-state area. We have taken for our motto, Pericles message to the Athenians: "We do not imitate for we are a model to others", so you can count on our 50th being a gala blowout that eye has not seen not ear has heard.
