AHEPA CANADA WELCOMES MOTION OF CANADIAN PARLIAMENT ON THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL OF HALKI
The Sons are back!
After a few years in the wilderness, Toronto's Sons of Pericles chapter returned with a bang, when 11 young men, mostly college students, were initiated by SOP Supreme Secretary Manolis Sfinarolakis [ Connecticut ] and District Governor Andy Tzemis, at Ahepa Toronto HQ, on May 4th, 2010.
From these, and others set to join, will come the players who will participate in the basketball tournament during July's Supreme Convention in Montreal.
All chapter executives are encouraged to look around their own community for similarly talented candidates, as Governor Tzemis, a former Son himself, is determined to revive the Sons of Pericles across the District.
