EnVogue is presented annually by the Ladies Philoptochos Society, Anthousa Chapter. The first Philoptochos (“fi-lop-to-hos”; friend of those in need) was organized in New York City in 1902. Today’s Philoptochos is a national non-profit organization officially chartered in 1931, comprised of approximately 480 chapters and 28,000 members. It is the largest Christian women’s charitable organization in the western hemisphere!

The Ladies Philoptochos Society, along with general chair Alexandra Mouzas, heartily invite you to join in the celebration on Saturday, October 16, 2010.

EnVogue deeply appreciates all of our contributors and our sponsors Konstantino, Carol Vassiliadis and Bradford Portraiture.
