Saturday is a big day. If in Avalon, plan to swing around 1PM for some day drinking. Rumor has it they are preparing for up to 40 kegs. If you have a raft, please feel encouraged to come by and drop it off my dock. Party is over three houses (2808 to 2858 Ocean). They will be taking donations for the local school for the blind, so please bring a donation.
Soccer anyone? I joined a team for the fall on Saturdays in Fairmount Park and we have some openings. Let me know if interested in playing. We need both males and females.
For those looking for a fun night, plan to be in Rittenhouse Park on Wednesday. You can have an open container from 7-9. Bring a blanket and some food. The first two weeks have been really fun. http://www.philadelphiaweekly.com/concerts
Are you heading to the to the Phillies game on Tuesday. If so, let me know as I will be in attendance. Would be happy to catch up for some beers.
This week, I found some interesting properties for sale in the low 200s in the Art Museum and Graduate Hospital. If you have interest in seeing the listing information, shoot me a line.
Enjoy the great weather we have been having. - Mark

5) HELP JEN FIND A JOB
I am currently looking for a new job opportunity in the Philadelphia/New Jersey area. I'm a Penn State University graduate of 2005. The last couple of years I was working for TEAM Enterprises where I have been responsible for building brand awareness for Miller Brewing Company products as well as managing a staff of 30 individuals on a daily basis. I found myself a casualty of a recent reorganization. I very much desire to continue my career in the marketing/advertising/event planning field. I believe that I have gained significant insight into promotional marketing, building brand visibility and event planning. I have a strong passion for event planning. I recently completed the certification programs at Temple University for both Wedding Planning and Professional Meeting Planning. If my background would be of interest to your organization, I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you or your representative to discuss my background further and how if I would be of value to your organization. Email me for my resume. I can be reached at either Jennifer.L.Maher@gmail.com or by phone at (610) 357-9144. I thank you for your time and consideration.
