NOVEMBER 22 MEETING plus BOUQUET MAKING
Join us on Tuesday, November 22, starting at 6pm in the Terrace Room, for a fun service project followed by the November Philoptochos Meeting. Here's the plan:
6-7pm: Work with Bluebirds & Blooms to make bouquets! The goal of this organization is to share a moment of joy with those living with memory loss or long-term illness through the gift of repurposed flowers. They will bring flowers and small/medium canning jars (vases), we'll do the creating, and their volunteers will do the delivering! Philoptochos is also providing flowers, so you can take a bouquet to share with a loved one, too.
IF YOU WISH, YOU CAN DONATE small/medium canning jars or vases, fresh flowers or greens, or fresh flower food.
7-8:30: Attend our final Philoptochos Meeting of the year. We need your approval on some year-end expenditures, so please join us!
