On November 3 we had an open house to welcome new and returning members. We loved seeing so many familiar faces, and so many new ones too. Thank you to all who came (and brought gluten-free snacks!) to celebrate and learn more about our organization and chapter.
The most exciting thing, other than the food, for the kids especially, was the 2020 program reveal. Our chapter and JB presidents worked together to come up with a playlist and some fun facts about the countries we’ll travel to as a way to create some suspense and hold the attention of the excited kids in the room. Some songs were in the country’s native language, others were by artists that originally came from that country. All in all, everyone did a pretty good job guessing where we will go in 2020!
So without further ado, CISV Philly will be traveling to (drumroll please…..)
