“Not Your Typical Service Group” for Young Professionals Comes to West Chester

September 28th, 2008 by Mary | 2 Comments

The coolest service group for young professionals has officially launched in WC! Yours truly is President of this group, so I wanted to be sure to share all of the excitement with all of you. Here are some pics from the event. Anyone is welcome to join us at the next meeting this coming Thursday night!


Here I am accepting the charter papers for our group to make it official!


Another shot of accepting the charter.

Here I am making an awkward speech about our new group…although it looks like I’m only talking to the bartender and some other guy in the corner. I swear there was a big group of people there…and I was picturing them all naked (Just kidding - the wine helped calm my nerves for the speech.).

See…here’s a shot of some of the folks that attended.

And now the official Press Release:

The West Chester Rotaract Club held its Charter Night poolside at the ACAC Fitness and Wellness Center, Thursday, September 18, 2008. The event marked a special occasion for one of the area’s newest Rotaracts not only for establishing it in the Rotary family but for bringing together local Rotarians from various clubs for an upscale social occasion.

The evening’s guests enjoyed served cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while mingling, sharing ideas and networking around the lower poolside area. The evening’s host, West Chester Rotaract Club President Mary Bigham, proudly accepted the charter from Rotarian John Schwab. Other notable guests included District Governor Joel Chesney.

The West Chester Rotaract Club extends a warm thank you to all attendees of the Charter Night event and looks forward to being an active part of the Rotary family.

    this sounds like a great way to network and meet new friends. I wish this had been around when I was in my 20’s!

    You clean up good, Bigham.

Comment Guidelines
Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.

Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.

We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.

Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.

Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.

Be Concise. 'Nuf said.

What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.

Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.

Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.

Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.

If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.

Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.

We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
