Χρόνια Πολλά!
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As we welcome 2026, I hope the holiday season brought you time for rest, reflection, and meaningful moments with family and loved ones. The start of a new year offers us an opportunity to pause, reset, and move forward with renewed purpose!
Like many of you, my family welcomed the new year by cutting the Vasilopita, a tradition that reminds us of faith, continuity, and the importance of family. This year, the quarter was found in the piece cut for our house, a moment that felt especially joyful.
As we move into the early months of the 2025–2026 year, the Supreme Lodge remains focused on supporting our chapters, strengthening communication, and advancing the values that define the Pan-Icarian Brotherhood of America. The foundation laid over the past months has positioned us well for the work ahead, and we look forward to continued collaboration throughout the year.
We are excited for the 2026 Convention, which will be hosted by Chapter Eirini #28 of S/E Virginia in Virginia Beach. Please continue to support their raffle ticket fundraiser, available at https://pan-icarian.com/chapter-eirini-convention-raffle-tickets. Your support plays an important role in ensuring another successful convention.
We also look ahead with enthusiasm to the 2026 Youth Leadership Conference, hosted by Chapter #11 Lychnos of San Francisco, CA, from May 1–3, 2026. This event remains a vital opportunity to empower our youth and invest in the future of our Brotherhood.
Please be sure to visit the News section of our website (https://pan-icarian.com/news/) for updates on upcoming events and chapter initiatives, and we encourage continued contributions to the magazine. Submission details are available at https://pan-icarian.com/magazine/ or by emailing magazine@pan-icarian.com.
As we step into this new year together, may 2026 be filled with good health, meaningful service, and strengthened bonds across our chapters and families. Χρόνια Πολλά και Καλή Χρονιά!
With gratitude and fraternity,
Evangelos J. Fragos
Supreme Lodge President
Pan-Icarian Brotherhood of America
