Important Convention Update!

(AHEPA HQ, Washington, DC -- 6/13/11)

We have been advised today that the Fontainebleau Hotel is currently SOLD OUT for our Convention July 18-24. Headquarters is currently in negotiations to secure an overflow hotel to provide accommodations to our AHEPA family members who have not made reservations yet.

If you require a room, please call Stephanie at AHEPA headquarters at 202.232.6300 with your dates and credit card info, so we can place you on our waiting list. As soon as we secure additional rooms at the overflow hotel we will make your reservation for you.

CONVENTION Delegate registration deadline still remains June 30! Do not miss the deadline or you will have to pay a higher registration fee! Call or register on line TODAY!

Lastly, due to the unprecedented demand for rooms and since we are now sold out, the $100 fee associated with not staying at our convention hotel HAS BEEN WAIVED.

As always we at headquarters are here to assist you with any questions, please feel free to call on us at any time.

Fraternally,

Basil N. Mossaidis, Executive Director
