Reminder Hermes 186 AHEPA family meeting Sunday March 27th 11:30 AM-
HOSTING COFEE HOUR at St Demetrios.
Greetings to the AHEPA family of Astoria, Hermes Chapter 186 and Ilion Chapter 135. On behalf of Hermes 186 I wanted to invite everyone to come to our next meeting March Sunday, the 27th. We are going to have two very short and interesting Multimedia presentations on Greek Independence Day, by Br Peter Giakoumis and myself.
We urge all members to attend because we will also be meeting the new appointed Priest of the St Demetrios Cathedral and Community of Astoria, Father Vasileios Tsourlis. He is excited to meet all of us and to establish a stronger relationship with our AHEPA Astoria family. That is why we feel the Daughters should join us as well to be represented.
Please do invite a friend that you think would make a good fit for our Chapters.
The meeting will take place Sunday, March 27th, 2022 at 11:30 AM.
We will be sponsoring and hosting Coffee Hour right after Sunday's Service in the Church Hall downstairs:
30-11 30th Drive, Astoria, NY 11102
