BUFFALO, NY – Over the last few years, AHEPA has spread its membership wings throughout the Empire State, inspiring Hellenism and Brotherhood. The historic William McKinley AHEPA Chapter 91 of Buffalo, NY established on January 15, 1926 was reactivated at the AHEPA Cheektowaga 67-II Apartments on October 24.

The impressive ceremony is part of a district-wide blueprint to spread the AHEPA logo in every community throughout the state. The goals from the very beginning were ambitious, but the enthusiastic and aggressive way in which the district leadership approached this challenge has more than borne out results. There were several members in attendance from the AHEPA Supreme Lodge including Supreme President George Horiates, Vice President Jimmy Kokotas, and Region 3 Supreme Governor Tom Dushas. The event was also attended by President of AHEPA Canada, Christos Argiriou.
