A historic weekend for AHEPA District 10 as we welcomed Supreme President Savas Tsivicos to Michigan.
The District Lodge had the honor of hosting Brother Savas for a private dinner to discuss key issues impacting our Order. Courtesy of Brother Dino Stathis, the evening continued with fellowship at a cigar night, bringing together brothers in true AHEPA spirit. During the evening, the brothers of VI Chebithes Chapter 391 presented outgoing District Governor James Thomas with a personal AHEPA sword—commemorating his service and dedication to the District over the past year.
At Saturday’s Educational Foundation Banquet, over $200,000 in scholarships were awarded to 56 deserving students—each receiving a minimum of $2,500. The Supreme President presented the AHEPA Medal of Honor to several distinguished brothers for their decades of service and leadership: Past Chairman Dino Stathis, Milton Gust, Lou Pavledes, Past Supreme Governor George Mortis, Honored Dignitary Spyros Politis, longtime Lodge Member Theo Alexander, Dr. Theodore Pantos, Peter Rageas, John Manolis, and Vasili Vouharas.
Special recognition was also given to outgoing District Governors Joanne Dau and James Thomas, and incoming Governor Othon Economopoulos. Together, they presented Brother Milton Gust with a 50-Year Service Award for his lifetime of honorable service, particularly in the founding and growth of the Educational Foundation.
As Brother James stated in his remarks, “Brother Milton is integral to the founding and the way in which the Foundation has flourished today—built upon the work they did all those years ago. If we embody even a fraction of the heart, wisdom, and strength that Brother Milton has given to this District and to Hellenism, then the future is bright.”
A weekend of honor, gratitude, and renewed commitment to our sacred mission: Hellenism, Education, Philanthropy, Civic Responsibility, and Family & Individual Excellence.
