SOCIAL EVENTS
Fun and Fellowship
The Rotary Club of Philadelphia social events often forge life-long friendships that result from a collective view that we all should serve and give back to others. Together, we enjoy painting, drinking and dining, going bowling and to ball games, rappelling down a building, and much more on a regular basis with our diverse group of like-minded good Samaritans, while raising funds for our causes. Members also graciously open their homes for “fireside” events, providing an enjoyable evening of food, drink and lively conversation with club members and families.
Other Rotary clubs throughout the district conduct meetings and events which are open to members of fellow clubs and their families. The full district calendar of current and upcoming events may be viewed on the District 7450 Southeastern PA website.
Stay tuned for our next exciting social event in May.

Fundraising Success at Zoo
Last week you read about the successful fundraising that Team Rotary did at the Walk for Love. Since the still photo couldn't capture all of the fun that was had, here's a short video which includes James and Bridget Comfort doing the Cha Cha Slide with baby Cole and some other happy dancing and comments from the rest of the group. This was the first time our Rotary club participated in the event, which benefits Shriners Hospitals for Children.
Thanks to all of you who donated! You can still make a contribution by going to clicking THIS LINK.
A group of talkative and hungry Philadelphia Rotary members enjoyed a Cantonese feast of the Ocean Harbor Restaurant on Thursday, September 21st. The eight family style dishes were not just good….they were fabulous! And shared by all creating lots of empty platters!
The Peking Duck dish won the first prize from the group, but several vegetable dishes were also widely applauded.
Host Shawn McGill and President Ken Myers presided over this social event and both even spoke Chinese to the waiters.
This was a great first step of moving the club’s social dinners on the 3rd Thursday of each month to different restaurant location. At each of the locations, there will be socializing, networking, and terrific food.
(That’s Carrie Sharpshair and Sean Friedland enjoying some Cantonese delicacies.)
