A New Live Auction Item for the Celebration!
We're almost ready to party! Come to the Celebration of Center City Living: Urban Village, which is on Thursday, May 10, 6-8:30 pm, at the Ethical Society on Rittenhouse Sq., where we will be honoring this year's Lenora Berson Community Service Award winner Paul Levy.
The silent auction item list is growing. Click or tap here to see what's on the list so far. In addition to the week-long stay in Cape May, Paul
Levy has donated a very special Live Auction Item. Mr. Levy will lead a
tour of ten people on a pre-opening Reading Aqueduct Park Tour. This will be the first opportunity the general public will get to see the park.
Get
your tickets today and join us in honoring Mr. Levy. The price of the
ticket includes food, wine, and other spirits that will be available to
go with the live music. We're looking forward to seeing you as we celebrate our Urban Village.
