Greetings!  
 
We are one week away from our Clergy/Laity Assemby and Philoptochos Conference.  Our goal is to have good dialogue and learn from each other as we gather to perpetuate the philanthropic missions of Philoptochos.  Our mission statement clearly identifies us as the philanthropic heart of the Greek Orthodox Church. 
 
It is our hope that your delegates will leave our meetings feeling inspired and motivated to go back to your parishes and chapters energized to work with a compassionate heart for this wonderful organization.  We have a terrific workshop and presentations planned.  We wish you a safe and blessed journey to Tampa
 
Sincerely,
 
Evangeline Mekras Scurtis, President
and the Board of the Metropolis of Atlanta Philoptochos Society
 
Shoes for Orphaned Souls 
Don't forget to send new shoes with your delegates!
 
In keeping our mission in mind, we are asking Philoptochos Delegates to bring a new pair of shoes for a child--All sizes for all ages. 
 
This is a National Philoptochos program that we are supporting as part of our 2009 Metropolis Conference.
