YPN Volunteers for Turning Points for Children’s Toy Shop Program
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011The Saturday before Christmas is usually reserved for last minute holiday shopping. Instead, a group of about 15 dedicated YPN volunteers rolled up their sleeves this year to assist Turning Points for Children with their Toy Shop program. Our tasks were to sort toys and games into appropriate age groups and to organize clothing according to size, as well as decorate the space for the holidays.
Silent Night….For A Little While Anyways
Tuesday, December 20th, 2011Ironically, there was no music playing at the YPN event last Monday featuring Ari Solotoff and Cristian Macelaru, Executive Vice President and Assistant Conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Background tunes would have been a distraction, and the audience of young professionals was too intent on listening to Mr. Solotoff and Mr. Macelaru as they shared information about our world-famous musical ensemble.
