Dear Members,
As we approach the end of 2024, I reflect on the remarkable accomplishments of our members and the incredible impact we’ve made together this year. Our Social Good impact has reached an all-time high, thanks to the dedication and heart of members like you.
Graci Tubbs, a multi-generation member of Royal Neighbors, exemplifies this spirit through her work with Operation: Military Matters. What began as a Difference Maker Fund project when she was just a teen has grown into a nonprofit that sends care packages and cards to active troops, powered entirely by volunteers. Graci inspires her community to give back to those who serve us all.
We also honor Linda Lannan, The Clothing Center at Minnie’s Maison Project Manager, a nonprofit organization offering free clothing to anyone in need, from refugees to those experiencing homelessness. Linda and a team of volunteers serve their community with grace and generosity.
Our 2024 Nation of Neighbors℠ recipients shine bright! This award and grant program recognizes inspiring individuals for their work in empowering women and girls in their communities.
Eli Cameron, a 2024-2025 scholarship recipient, has a deep-rooted commitment to community service through Royal Neighbors. He shares his journey of overcoming challenges and giving back, reflecting the core values of endurance and unselfishness that lie at the heart of our mission.
Just as Eli’s journey highlights the power of support and community, our commitment to you also extends beyond financial protection. That’s why, in 2024, we added the Empathy bereavement support solution for our members’ beneficiaries. To us, life insurance is more than financial security. It’s about walking alongside our members and their loved ones through life’s most challenging moments. We are committed to providing you with Insurance with a Difference℠ and Empathy is part of that unique promise.
Finally, I’m excited to share my family’s Southern Collard Greens recipe in this edition of the magazine—a comforting dish I hope brings warmth to your table this season.
Thank you for being a part of the Royal Neighbors community. Together, we are building greater impact!
Sincerely,
Zarifa Reynolds
CEO and President
