Our 2025 PIB Membership Drive is officially underway! We reached an outstanding 2,070 members in 2024. Let’s see if we can reach even higher in 2025! To continue this great work, we are continuing our Membership Drive into 2025.Our goal is to have all members pay their Chapter dues between the months of September 2024 and May, 2025 to their individual Chapters. The Chapters need to submit their Per Capita Chapter dues to Supreme Treasurer Sophia Facaros or online no later than June 1, 2025. Along with the dues, we ask that the Chapters provide member names and email addresses electronically. In order to hit our goal of collecting all membership dues by June 1, 2025, we are once again offering an incentive to the Chapter who submits the greatest percentage increase of dues based on their last year’s Chapter Membership numbers as well as the Chapter with the greatest increase in overall numbers based on last year’s numbers.
Again, check out the website for chapter dances and events. Please let the Supreme Lodge if you or your chapter needs anything, we are always here to help and provide assistance. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.
Thank you,
Katerina Mavrophilipos
Supreme President of Pan-Icarian Brotherhood of America
