This year, through the AHEPA 192 Charitable Trust, we are proud to support 18 outstanding charitable organizations with donations totaling $9,900.

Each organization received $550 in support of their important work, helping make a difference in the lives of children, families, veterans, patients, and communities across Iowa and beyond.

These contributions reflect AHEPA's commitment to philanthropy, service, and making a positive impact. Thank you to our members whose generosity and dedication make these donations possible.

Together, we continue to live our mission of Service to Humanity.

From the family-owned businesses that have strengthened our local economies, to the educators who have inspired future generations, to the countless volunteers who have quietly given back to their communities, the Greek-American community has helped shape Iowa for well over a century.

Through hard work, a commitment to education, and a tradition of philanthropy, Greeks in Iowa continue to make a lasting difference in every corner of our state.

AHEPA is proud to celebrate this legacy while investing in the next generation of leaders who will carry these values forward.

Here's to our heritage, our communities, and the bright future we continue to build together.

As we celebrate the Fourth of July, the Order of AHEPA proudly joins Americans across our nation in honoring the enduring principles of freedom, democracy, and opportunity that define the United States of America.

For more than a century, AHEPA has stood as a proud example of the contributions of Hellenic Americans to the fabric of this great nation. Rooted in the ancient Greek ideals that helped inspire modern democracy, we remain committed to the values of civic responsibility, patriotism, family, faith, and service to community.

Today, we remember and give thanks to all those who have defended our freedoms, especially the men and women of our Armed Forces, veterans, first responders, and public servants who continue to sacrifice for the blessings we enjoy.

As families and communities gather to celebrate Independence Day, may we also reflect upon the importance of unity, respect, and active citizenship in preserving the promise of America for future generations.

From all of us in the Order of AHEPA, we wish you and your families a safe, joyful, and blessed Fourth of July.

📣 We're Looking for Volunteers! 📣

The James L. Karthan Order of AHEPA Chapter 192 is excited to begin planning for the 2027 AHEPA District 14 Convention, and we're looking for Brothers who would like to be part of our Convention Committee!

🗓️ Convention Weekend: June 11, 2027

This date was selected to avoid conflicts with our Annual Greek Food Fair, Father's Day, and to comply with guidance from the Supreme Lodge, as the 2027 Supreme Convention will be held earlier than usual, July 1–6 in Chicago.

Planning starts long before the first guest arrives, and getting organized now will help us spread out the work, reduce last-minute stress, and ensure another first-class convention.

We're looking for volunteers to assist with:
✅ Venue Selection
✅ Registration
✅ Catering & Hospitality
✅ Entertainment
✅ Advertising & Promotion
✅ General Planning & Logistics

Many of our Brothers will also be volunteering for the Greek Food Fair and our church's Centennial Celebration, so we encourage everyone to participate in a way that fits their schedule. Every contribution—big or small—helps.

One thing we hear time and time again is that "District 14 throws some of the best conventions!" That's because of the dedication and teamwork of our members. The good news is that we don't have to reinvent the wheel. We have experienced Brothers who have planned successful conventions before, and with their guidance—along with some fresh ideas—we can continue that tradition of excellence.

Hosting the District Convention is an opportunity to showcase our chapter, our hospitality, and our Brotherhood. We'd love to have you be part of it!

If you're interested in serving on the 2027 District Convention Committee, please comment below, send us a message, or reach out to me directly.

Together, let's make the 2027 District 14 Convention another event our Brothers will remember with pride!
