Co-Presidents'
Message - November 2008
LET US BUILD
MEMBERSHIP FOR PTPDE IN 2009!
Soon
we will be beginning our
Membership Drive 2009! We
hope you will rejoin our
Delaware Chapter and recruit
others who are interested in
understanding people from around
the globe. Increasingly, events
in one part of the world impact
all of us on this Earth. We
welcome your ideas for
increasing our membership and
for developing events that are
important for you and others. We
really appreciate those who want
to become ACTIVE in our Delaware
Chapter—one of the most active
in the world!
We hope that you will visit our
fabulous website often to check
on up-coming events, catch up on
news you may have missed, and
see if you can spot yourself in
photos and videos of past
events.
On October 22nd we hosted
professionals who are studying
at the English Language
Institute at UD for dinner at
Timothy’s on the Riverfront. You
can find terrific photos of the
dinners that we hosted in the
past on this website! Sign up to
come when we announce future
dinners. It is a wonderful
opportunity to make new
international friends!
We will be interviewing
potential Student Ambassadors
this fall, who wish to travel in
2009. We welcomed back our 2008
Student Ambassadors from their
travels with a picnic and
fund-raising walk at Lums’s
Pond. Proceeds from the walk
went to our Student Ambassador
Scholarship Fund. Please contact
our webmaster if you are a
potential Student Ambassador and
wish to apply for this
scholarship.
What fun PTPDE members had in
September hosting PTPI members
from Denmark! If you wish to
host in the future please
contact us; our telephone
numbers are below.
Please consider participating in
other events and programs
throughout the year such as
Circles of Understanding, Books
for Overseas Youth, and Families
of the World. See this website
for upcoming happenings! Our
talented and highly committed
Board of Directors are energized
to create programs and events
that enrich and inform people of
all ages!
We hope you’ll continue to help
further ‘Peace through
Understanding’ formally through
organizations like ours, and
informally through your own
interactions with people you
meet every day. Help us with our
Membership Drive for 2009—join
us again or for the first time!
