I want to thank the San Antonio chapter for being there and leading the AHEPA efforts. Also at that time AHEPA Supreme Vice President, Now AHEPA Supreme President Chris Kaitson delivered a $10,000 check from AHEPA National to support the recovery and food efforts. Many AHEPAns including myself and Daughters were present.
If not already done, I ask that all chapters and individuals please make a donation in continuing support for the Kerrville Flooding recovery efforts.

2026 Welcome Message
It is with great joy and heartfelt enthusiasm that I welcome you to another exciting year of sisterhood, service, and shared purpose. As your District Governor, I am honored to serve alongside such an extraordinary group of women who continue to uphold the values and traditions of the Daughters of Penelope.
Each new year offers us a fresh opportunity to strengthen our bonds of friendship, support our communities, preserve our Hellenic heritage, and grow as leaders. Whether you are a longtime member or have recently joined our sisterhood, know that your presence, your ideas, and your willingness to serve make our organization stronger.
I truly believe that our success will be determined by your participation. Every meeting you attend, every event you support, every committee you join, and every act of kindness you extend helps shape the future of our chapter and our District. No contribution is ever too small. When each of us shares our time, talents, and enthusiasm, we create something extraordinary together. Together, we will celebrate our accomplishments, overcome challenges, and continue building a legacy of service and sisterhood for future generations.
Our journey will cover scholarship, national projects, district fundraising, updating the district membership list and sharing of chapter activities by means of monthly bulletins and flyers. I look forward to sharing this journey with each of you and celebrating all that we will accomplish together.
Unity-Mutual Respect-Common Purpose
Love in Theta Pi,
Helen Santire
