13th Annual Winter Social

   
On January 12, 2009, the YMF hosted its annual YMF Winter Social. The event was a huge success with 139 engineers and their guests in attendance. Everyone enjoyed hanging out with their coworkers, catching up with colleagues from the industry, as well as meeting new people. The YMF rented out the entire first floor of McGillin’s Olde Ale House in Center City for the event. Yet again, McGillin’s was the perfect setting and provided a delicious buffet and tasty drinks.

During the event YMF members sold raffle tickets for prizes donated from companies in the area. The prizes ranged from movie tickets to restaurant gift certificates. Through the raffle, $250 was raised for the Future City Competition and $632 for Philabundance! Also, this year there was a slight increase to the entry fee into the Winter Social, which raised an additional $581 to go towards the ERYMC conference the Philly YMF will be hosting in February.

Many thanks to Cathy Farrell, PE with Michael Baker Jr., Inc. and Jeremy Chrzan , PE, PTOE of Pennoni Associates for planning the event. Thanks to all who participated!

The YMF also thanks these organizations for sponsorship of the 13th Annual Winter Social
