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 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.
For more information about the AHEPA family, or how to join, please contact AHEPA Headquarters, 202.232.6300, or visit http//www.ahepa.org for instant information.

This group was formed in 1922 after some members of the KKK lynched a (legal) Greek Immigrant in Atlanta. Their name may contain progressive but it is not "libera/left". They push personal responsibility and reward personal accomplishment. (Promoting immigrant assimilation into America)
I know some of the people involved. The are decent family folks. Their senior houses are not just for Greeks. If anyone can help it would be most welcome or if you could help get the word out. Thanks
