Let's Stay Connected
We are off to a fantastic start after beginning our year at The
Most Magical Place on Earth.
The keyword for the year is synergy. Seeing what we accomplished
during quarantine, it would be a disservice to our Orders
to let these new skills go to waste. We have been fortunate to
have many AHEPA family members champion the Sons of
Pericles. However, we hope to work even closer with more
AHEPA chapters around the world to increase our growith and
expansion. I asked many of you to do me a favor at Supreme
Convention; but if you were not there, I want to ask you as well:
reach out to us. We want to work with you. In this age, with
the technology and skills at our disposal,
we have so much potential,
but we will never see any of it come
to fruition without communication.
My contact information is on Page 2,
visit sonsofpericles.org, or contact
headquarters. I urge you to reach
out to our Supreme Lodge officers
so that we may work together, build
each other up, learn from each other,
and make the best of what we have.
Outside of the AHEPA family, the Maids of Athena and
Sons of Pericles have chosen to support The Children's Miracle
Network for our national project this year. In addition to getting
our chapters involved, this is a tremendous opportunity for the
AHEPA family's participation. There are CMN hospitals throughout
our districts providing several opportunities to lend support.
Individuals can volunteer their time, bring toys and games, or
donate financially.
Finally, we are expanding our traditional schedule with the
addition of at least two events in new and untapped areas.
I welcome feedback from anyone on what we can do to
help you and how we can make our Orders stronger. Cheers to
AHEPA celebrating 100! Good luck and best wishes to all!
Driving Change for the
Better Through New Ideas
I am humbled and honored to address the AHEPA family again
as the Maids of Athena Grand President. Congratulations to
Supreme President Jimmy Kokotas, DOP Grand President
Georgette Boulegeris, SOP Supreme President Ryan Marinos,
and their respective lodge officers. I am excited and look forward
to continued collaboration and
growth between all four Orders of
the AHEPA family.
Throughout the year, the MOA
Grand Lodge will be focusing its
efforts on membership retention and
growth, empowering our leaders,
and continuing our philanthropic
efforts. Working alongside the Sons
of Pericles, the Maids of Athena
has selected The Children's Miracle
Network as its national project. CMN is an organization that supports
training, purchasing equipment, and helping with uncompensated
care in hospitals for children across North America.
The only way we can ensure the continuance of our senior
Ryan Marinos
Orders is by working to strengthen and grow our junior auxiliaries.
I encourage you to explore your communities and find
the next generation of leaders. Know that our lodges are always
available to assist in strengthening and expanding our Order.
Our theme for this year is to be Present in our communities
and to take initiative. Our goal is for our members to operate
with a mindset that cultivates new ideas that drive change
for the better. Through their determination, dedication, and
enthusiasm for our Order, the Grand Lodge will work diligently
with our leaders to achieve new heights for the organization.
Looking forward to this year!
Maria Ana Pantelous
