    DISTRICT FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP FUND: IN NEED OF YOUR SUPPORT

Each year, our chapters are asked to give generously to the District Foundation Scholarship Fund.  All
members should consider joining the “Scholarship Club” through a pledge of as little as $20. The District  Foundation hopes to sponsor a student in 2012 as part of the AHEPA Family’s educational Journey to Greece program.  The Foundation will also award a number of $1,500 scholarships.  Please do your part in  supporting these important endeavors for the future of the AHEPA Family in Indiana.   

Watch for a copy of the Pledge Form in your mail, from the Foundation Committee.



    DAUGHTERS OF PENELOPE DISTRICT #12 Cookbook

In 1963, the District Lodge under took an enormous project to raise money for the Daughters of Penelope District Scholarship Fund. This was the beginning of “Penelopian Culinary Favorites” cookbook. This collection of “favorite” Greek and non-Greek recipes from the members of our organization benefit our scholarship fund. The cookbook has also become a treasure of recipes handed down from grandmother to mother and to daughter.

In preparing this book, many secret recipes were revealed, some that required translation and adaption to our present day measurements. Comprehensive instructions were written enabling
the American-born Hellene, young bride or even those not familiar with typically Greek recipes to
prepare the traditional and delicious dishes of Greece easily.

For more than forty years, our district has sold the “Penelopian Culinary Favorites” continuing to provide a source of income for the Daughters of Penelope Scholarship Fund. To purchase a
copy of this cookbook, please contact your local Hoosier Daughter’s chapter or Cleo Bizoukas,
3716 Boulevard Drive, Highland, Indiana 46322 (219) 924-5426. The cookbooks are $20 each.
