Present also were District 6 Lt. Governor Chris Pappis, Albany Chapter 140 Past President George Pappis, and District 6 Secretary Michael Labatos. Brothers Filippos Georgakopoulos and Stavros Tamoutselis were presented with a certificate of appreciation for their loyal support and work in the Hellenic events of the chapter and Brother Peter J.

Dr. James Telonis, AHEPA 37 Director of Hellenism, with his remarks, took us back to October 28, 1940 and ‘OXI’ Day. He said: “‘OXI’ Day should be celebrated all over the world and not just by the Greeks.”
