DEAR MEMBERS,

As the new year unfolds, Philoptochos is blessed with the many members that bring their individual skills and unique talents forward for the good of our community. Every program and project that we undertake requires an array of expertise and ability. Our members offer a diverse scope of talent and knowledge, that when combined, create impactful and inspiratonal programs. We’ve been so impressed by the ideas and actions that each member has shared as we plan and prepare for this year’s activities, and we are eager to embrace even more fresh and interesting perspectives. We encourage every member to identify someone not yet engaged in Philoptochos, and ask them to consider joining us. All of us together comprise a formidable force for good, and 2024 will be better for it. May God grant us the health, energy and wisdom necessary to grow and thrive.

DEAR MEMBERS,

We are so blessed this month to begin the holiday celebrations that bring our families and friends together to enjoy the traditions we have fostered over the years. As mothers and grandmothers, we pour our love into our preparations and fill our hearts witnessing the pleasure our labor brings to everyone dear to us. I wish each of you a Thanksgiving of gratitude and joy for all the blessings in your lives.
