HOT Summer Fun - AHEPA District 5

District #5 Athletic DirectorReportElias Nyktas of Hamilton, NJ, a first-time fisherman, proudly shows offhis first fish caught.It is with much joy to announce that the annual District No 5 fishingexcursion was a success. Over 20 brave Ahepans and friends of theAHEPA family ventured from Point Pleasant, NJ on a beautiful sunnyday on Saturday, August 20th in search of “Megala Psaria” bluefish. Theblues were not biting but some of us were successful in catching some nicesize fluke and sea bass. Those that did not, still had a good time as theweather was gorgeous and the waters calm. Those who did not bring homefish to cook still brought home their fish stories of the ones (smart ones)that got away.I am also glad to report that Chapters local athletic programs havebeen coming along as certain chapters have their own local fishing trips(Trenton), days at the races, and other activities. We are also lookingforward to the various Chapters’ golf outings such as Trenton’s Chapter10th Annual Golf event that benefits their scholarship program, theGarden State Chapter’s golf outing,; or the Thomas Edison Chapters’Asbury Park, NJ events that benefits the AHEPA charities and all theothers. Details will also follow as we are in the planning stage of theAHEPA Bowling Tournament.Submitted by Nicholas C.
