Philoptohos News for February 2003
by Mary Boulegeris
The Philoptochos Needy Cases Fund Committee extends its
heartfelt thanks and deepest appreciation to the parishioners and organizations
of the St. George Community for their generous donations to the Needy
Cases Fund through their participation in the community Christmas Card
of 2002. We, also, would like to acknowledge the following donations that
were NOT included in this year's Christmas Card:
Belonis Family
Peter and Penny Capetan
Mrs. Mary Ponticas
In addition, we thank those parishioners from our community
who took the time to investigate their company's Gift Matching Program
which resulted in a substantial benefit to the Needy Cases Fund. Corporations
- such as Bristol-Myers Squibb, Mobil, Pfizer, The Home Depot, and Prudential,
as well as Lockheed-Martin, Merck, Merrill Lynch, and Mobil - through
the Tristate United Way Program, matched the amount individuals donated
to the Needy Cases Fund. As a result, we strongly encourage those parishioners
of the St. George community who may be eligible to help us through their
company's Gift Matching Program, or the Tristate United Way Program, to
utilize this wonderful opportunity. Indeed, the St. George Needy Cases
Fund will reap the benefits.
Again, we thank you one and all, and pray that the New
Year will bring to your hearts and homes the Blessings of the Christ Child!
