Chapter President’s Message 2026-27
As this year’s Chapter President, I’d like to welcome you to the Fayetteville Chapter of the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA). The greatest challenge faced by civic organizations today is membership. The only way we can continue our mission, to promote Hellenic Ideals through philanthropy and community service is to continue to grow and thrive. I invite you to reach out to me or one of the chapter officers to see how you can join us this year, as we feed the homeless, provide material support to local charities, and award college scholarships to Cumberland County High School Seniors. We can’t do it without your support.
Come along with us as we continue to support Hellenism and build communities of excellence.
Fraternally,
Jarold “Tom” Johnston
AHEPA Chapter 9 President
