Hello MPIGNY Members,

As we step into November, the season brings us a chance to reconnect, reflect, and bring intention into our shared journey as a chapter. With the holidays fast approaching, it’s a special time to celebrate community, connection, and gratitude. I want to extend a warm invitation for each of you to join us this month in an experience that promises both excitement and impact.

On Monday, November 25, we’re thrilled to host our annual Auction & Casino Royale event—think the glamour and thrill of James Bond at the Casino Royale! This evening promises to be a fantastic way to kick off the holiday season, enjoy some spirited competition, and most importantly, connect with one another in a vibrant setting. All proceeds from this event will go directly toward supporting our chapter, enabling us to continue building the strong, inclusive MPIGNY community we are all so proud to be a part of.

This November, we’re also thrilled to partner with God’s Love We Deliver, our CSR partner. God’s Love We Deliver is an inspiring organization that provides medically tailored meals to people who are too sick to shop or cook for themselves. As part of our partnership, MPIGNY will be participating in the Race to Deliver, raising funds to support this life-changing mission. I encourage all members to join us in contributing to our fundraising efforts—it’s a meaningful way to give back during this season of gratitude. You can donate to support our efforts here: MPIGNY Team Fundraising for God’s Love We Deliver.

We recognize that November may bring different emotions and perspectives, particularly in light of the current political climate. At MPIGNY, we are committed to creating events and spaces where every voice is heard, every member feels welcome, and diverse perspectives are embraced. Let’s come together this month with open hearts and minds, supporting one another and celebrating the strength that our differences bring to our community.

Thank you for being a part of MPIGNY. We look forward to seeing you at the Casino Royale, and together, let’s make this month a time to connect, give back, and celebrate all that we share.

Warmest Regards,  Jennifer Rondinelli President, MPIGNY FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook Instagram LinkedIn YouTube
