One of the many highlights of the 90th Anniversary Banquet for the Reading AHEPA Chapter was honoring the living Past Presidents of the chapter. Current Chapter President George Giovanis (soon to be a Past President) presented gifts to four Past Presidents who were able to attend the banquet. President Giovanis noted that in the past 90 years, with thousands of members, only 33 men have served as President of AHEPA Chapter 61. Those honored at the Banquet included Gust C. Kraras, William Sianis, Spiro Phyrillas and Tony Phyrillas. Other surviving Past Presidents unable to attend the Banquet were Stratton Marmarou, Stanley Theodossiou, Michael Firilas and Christ Ganas. President Giovanis was also presented with a token of appreciation from the chapter for his service as President over the past five years.
