Message From <strong>Our</strong> <strong>District</strong> Governor SAVAS C. TSIVICOS Dear Brothers and Sisters of <strong>District</strong> 5, As we approach the holiday season, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very joyous <strong>Christmas</strong> and a Happy New Year full of health, happiness and prosperity! We have been very busy the last six months visiting our chapters and really pushing to grow our membership. So far, we have made tremendous progress but I would like to encourage all the chapters who did not push as hard to please do so now! <strong>Our</strong> target remains to grow membership by a net of 100 members and we can be successful if we all work closely together. Your district lodge is always at your disposal <strong>for</strong> anything you need! We are also extremely excited and honored to have initiated Senator Robert Menendez as a member of our <strong>AHEPA</strong> family! Senator Menendez has been a champion of Hellenic issues and he has worked very closely with our community <strong>for</strong> the last twenty years. Congratulations to Brother Senator Menendez <strong>for</strong> joining the oldest and largest organization in the country! He is truly our strongest advocate in the United States Senate. In closing I would like to remind you of our district and national conventions and I encourage all of you to participate. <strong>Our</strong> district convention will take place the first weekend in June in Ocean Township, Monmouth County hosted by our Thomas A Edison chapter. <strong>Our</strong> national convention will take place in Las Vegas and it promises to be a huge success. Please make your reservations early because the rooms are cheap and are going very fast. Don’t miss out! On behalf of the district Lodge, I wish you <strong>Merry</strong> <strong>Christmas</strong> and Happy New Year! Savas C.
