NATIONAL PHILOPTOCHOS INVITES MEMBERS TO
COME AND SEE
Witnessing our Faith in Christ through Works
The National Philoptochos theme for the upcoming 2010 National Philoptochos Biennial Convention on July 4th through 7th in Atlanta, GA is: “Come and See…Witnessing our Faith in Christ through Works”. Understanding the importance of this spiritual calling and its relevance to the Philoptochos mission, National Philoptochos President Aphrodite Skeadas, along with the Convention Chairmen, Helen Ballerano, Diane Tseckares and Georgia Vlitas, as well as Evangeline Mekras Scurtis, the Host Chairman for the Metropolis of Atlanta Philoptochos, are utilizing the theme as the framework for the deliberations of the entire Convention.
The Convention is only a month away and the Convention Committee is finalizing its four-day program that promises spiritual, philanthropic, leadership and social fulfillment to all of the delegates present. From the opening day festivities on July 4th until the Grand Banquet finale on July 7th, each day will be defined by valuable information, learning opportunities and sisterly fellowship.
Social Services, Membership and Leadership are the core focus of this year’s Convention program. An inspiring panel discussion on Social Services will address the importance of philanthropy in today’s struggling economic climate and how women can benefit from coping strategies with a spiritual application. Increasing and retaining committed members is a vital concern of every Philoptochos Chapter and the Membership presentation will tackle this issue followed by a breakout session with full delegate input. Evelyn Ploumis-Devick, Ph.D., will be one of the Convention’s distinguished speakers on the important subject of Leadership. Her extensive professional expertise and training bring invaluable insight for all the delegates on the principles of effective leadership.
A special evening of Social Fellowship has been planned by National Philoptochos and the Metropolis of Atlanta Philoptochos at the Carlos Museum at Emory University. This is a private event solely for the Philoptochos delegates.
The National Convention offers all this and more! The opportunity to serve one’s Chapter as a delegate is a rewarding and potentially transforming experience. Join the delegates from throughout the United States. There is still time to register by contacting the national office at philosny@aol.com and submitting the registration form found at www.philoptochos.org.
