Growth & Expansion Initiative 2021

From Grand Vice President Georgette Boulegeris: This year’s theme is “Believe in the Power of We!” Our Belief in the mission of the Daughters of Penelope, the individual talents of the women that comprise our Sisterhood, and our combined determination, will draw women to join our Order. We will always put our “Best foot forward”. We will always hold ourselves to a high standard of Sisterhood (supportive and encouraging). We will always work together to achieve our goals. Together we can accomplish anything and reach any goal we aspire to.
