Two on Tuesday: Schuylkill Center

Schuylkill-Center

Ivy Ridgers — this Tuesday (8/3) we’re venturing out of the neighborhood to the Schuylkill Center with our friends Tom and Rich. We did this last year and it was a blast.

So let’s meet at Union Jack’s at 6pm and ride up to the Schuylkill Center from there. We’ll work from 6:30 until the gas runs out, and have refreshments afterward. RSVP if you need us to save you a seat.

If you want to meet us there, that’s fine:

There’s LOTS to tell about the Trail, about the Fountain Street Steps and the rest of our work in Ivy Ridge. Come on out and let’s trade stories — it’s always good to see you all.

WHAT: “Two on Tuesday” at the Schuylkill Center
WHERE: Meet at Union Jack’s, 6pm for a ride
RSVP to: Chris, 610.812.8931
