AHEPA honors Louis Arvanitis



Louis Arvanitis, Past Supreme Governor of AHEPA and Regional Director for Districts 5 and 6, was honored earlier the year with a wonderful testimonial at Graycliff in Moonachie, NJ, organized by The Alexander Hamilton Chapter 54 of which he is a long time member and currently its secretary.

The night consisted of praising speeches of Mr. Arvanitis' past accomplishments in AHEPA, private quirky moments, and his generous nature towards everyone around him. According to participants who have been in many of the organization’s events in New Jersey, it was the most successful testimonial AHEPA has seen. The night did not bore the 200 attendees; there was dancing by all and the Terpsihorian Dance Group as well.

Nothing could seem more perfect for Louis Arvanitis, for family and friends surrounded him the entire night with nothing to say except positive comments on how driven he is, how dedicated he is, and how delicious his food is! Although his testimonial symbolizes the greatest of all his accomplishments, everyone is sure that Louis will still come up with higher standards for the Order of AHEPA.

“I thank my AHEPA brothers and all friends that joined me and my family tonight,” an exuberant Louis Arvanitis said. “It’s wonderful to be all together, to renew our commitment to AHEPA and its great deeds.” He also thanked Anthony Papamarkos, Graycliff’s owner, for his support and his contribution to the event’s success.

The Alexander Hamilton Chapter 54 belongs to the John G. Thevos Fifth District which covers New Jersey and Delaware and has 18 chapters.

AHEPA (American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association) was established July 26, 1922, in Atlanta, Georgia to battle racism and bigotry spearheaded by the KKK.

Today, it is the largest Greek heritage group in the world and a major community service organization in North America. It has more than 500 local chapters and 26 regional districts. Its central objectives are philanthropy, education, civics and the promotion of Hellenic culture and heritage. AHEPA also works to educate American policy makers and the public on foreign policy issues of concern to Greek Americans.
