Daughters of Penelope: The Toledo DOP chapter, Dodona #24, decided to sponsor Team "Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Community," because of the prevalence in our families and local Greek Orthodox community touched by the relentless disease of dementia and Alzheimer’s. You do not need to be a member of the AHEPA Family to support the Team.  We wish to bring together the entire local Greek Orthodox community to raise awareness and funds.  We recognize the disease affects everyone, and there is an ongoing need for care, support and research for individuals, families and communities facing the challenges brought by the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's and the entire spectrum of dementia. By sponsoring the "Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Community" Team, we wish to honor all of our beloved friends, families, coworkers, classmates and more who have been touched by this disease. Thank you for your support of the "Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Community" Team!

Project Mexico Update: Thanks to your faithful prayers and generous support, our Project Mexico team, in collaboration with four Project Mexico interns and a fantastic team of five from Rochester, NY, built a home for a family of four in Rosarito, Mexico. Glory to God! In the coming weeks we will share photos, videos, and testimonials, but in the meantime invite you to ask us about our trip. More importantly, think about joining us in 2026 – we’re already planning!

STEWARDSHIP:  We’re in the eighth month of this year’s Stewardship Campaign.  It’s also the start of summer and vacations.  Are you current with your pledge?  If you are..we thank you! If you aren’t.. please catch up.. we need everyone’s support to make this a successful campaign.   Have a safe, restful, and blessed summer.

Attention: Warm Hands to Warm Hearts (WHWH): Q: Who thinks about yarn in the summer? 

The members of WHWH! We hope you will too, especially if you frequent garage, yard, or rummage sales. 'Tis the season! Remember, 4-ply yarn works best for our needs, but we accept whatever you bring. Choose bright, fun colors! Let nature & summer activities inspire your choices. Think of flowers, fruits, vegetables, fireworks, the beach, or the sunrises/sunsets of the season. Thank you! Our summer meetings have been suspended due to festival workshops and family vacations. Our next meeting will be Tuesday, September 30, 2025 at 1:00 PM in the AHEPA Room of the Veronie Community Hall. For more information, contact Maria Petros at (419) 473-2387 or Elena Perry (419) 265-6275.
