Two Upcoming YPN Events 10/18 and 10/21

YPN Volunteers at McClure Elementary School for Greater Philadelphia Cares Day
Join the Young Professionals Network (YPN) as we return to volunteer at McClure Elementary School in North Philadelphia. YPN members will be rolling up their sleeves to help out the school on Saturday, October 18 at 10:00 a.m. YPN began its relationship with McClure Elementary two years ago at Philadelphia Cares Day and since then has conducted a book and toy drive for the school, sent two former YPN chairs to serve as principal for a day, helped out with a Career and Education Day and hosted two end of the year field days for students with perfect attendance. We are excited to continue our volunteer relationship with McClure and to expand our activities and impact within the community.

What is Philadelphia Cares Day?
Greater Philadelphia Cares, in partnership with the Philadelphia School District, hosts the 14th Annual Philadelphia Cares Day, a marathon day of service that gives children attractive and more functional learning environments. More than 100 schools will benefit from fresh coats of paint, refurbished libraries, landscaped green spaces, restored playground equipment, and much more.

YPN Goes Bowling
Join YPN for what promises to be a wonderful night of networking and old-styled fun at North Bowl, a retro, 1950’s themed bowling alley and nightlife haven located in Center City. The networking event will take place on October 21 at 6:00 p.m.

The event will host speaker Oron Daskal, co-owner of North Bowl. Daskal, a young professional himself, will discuss the risks he took in renovating an old mechanics garage into the multimillion dollar complex that is now North Bowl, and the challenges he has faced in our uncertain economy.

This event is presented in partnership with Kaplan Test Prep & Admission, Saint Joseph’s University Haub School of Business, TD Banknorth and uwishunu.com. Parking is extremely limited, so please consider taking a taxi or public transportation in lieu of driving to the event. North Bowl is located at 909 North Second Street in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia.
