While Savoy takes its theater seriously, it never forgets that it is also one of Philadelphia's most social organizations. Savoy hosts numerous parties during the production season (February through early June) in some of Philadelphia's most exclusive clubs and private residences. The membership list of active onstage and backstage members is known as "the date list," and indeed each season there are one or two engagements announced among members who have met in Savoy. A recent Philadelphia Magazine piece noted that Savoy was a great place to meet guys and gals and quoted the old phrase... "Join Savoy, meet a boy!"
Music rehearsals for leads and chorus members are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm at various clubhouses in Center City and throughout the Philadelphia suburbs. Backstage work sessions are Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings/early afternoons. Generally the Company has access to the club bars where they rehearse (and congregate there post-rehearsal) or visit a traditional Savoy hang-out. The backstage workspace (known as Savoy World Headquarters) is based in Chestnut Hill (plenty of safe, free parking, lots of post-work session taverns nearby.)
Savoy is currently the oldest tenant of the legendary Academy of Music. We perform two shows on stage there in late May and then two shows at the lovely outdoor theater at Longwood Gardens. Throughout the summer Savoy's Traveling Troupe puts on concert versions of the show (and G&S highlights) at Cape May and other resorts. Savoy performs with a full professional orchestra and is led by professional music and stage directors. A familiarity with Gilbert and Sullivan helps, but is certainly not necessary. Backstage experience is welcome, but also not necessary as a number of experienced backstagers are happy to teach new comers the ropes.
The active Company numbers around 100, with about 1100 Savoy alumni around the world.
Savoy will be hosting its first party for prospective new members on Saturday, November 14 at one of Philadelphia's historic boathouses on Boathouse Row. To receive an invitation, or to learn more about Savoy, please visit the Savoy website, www.savoy.org or email us at savoy@savoy.org. Some one from the Admissions Committee will be in touch with you.

The secrets to losing belly fat===> Get rid of belly fat using this one secret<===
I struggled with belly fat for years until I found this 1 secret
WARNING: Obesity Leads To Heart Attacks...Are
You Next?......"Every year, more than one million
Americans have heart attacks.
Are You Next?
"For the past 15 years, I've struggled to keep my
weight down and with each passing year, it got
more and more difficult. I'm now in my mid 40's
and in the past eight years alone, I put on 30 pounds.
My doctor said I was a heart attack waiting to happen.
That was a scary moment. He said if I didn't lose
weight I may not be around to experience much
more of life. I tried to lose weight fast.
I was sluggish, short of breath, and tired of trying
to hide my fat rolls. So I opted for the "miracle pills."
I used several brands, all with the same results.
Nothing happened. The only thing they burned
was a hole in my wallet.
I asked friends what products they were using.
I would purchase them, use them, and without
fail, the same thing happened. Nothing. The only
thing I could say was, at least my results were
consistent…meaning, NO RESULTS.
I was exercising but not consistently. I was
honestly beginning to think this is the way it
would be and so I had better get used to being
overweight. However my doctor advised me
otherwise. I was two points away from being
obese and I was pre-diabetic since I carried
most of my weight in my stomach and midriff.
Like a hamster running around those crazy wheels,
I did more exercise and consumed more diet programs.
The most weight I lost was two pounds, but in a few
days, they came right back.
I was going nowhere and getting very frustrated.
Then I started looking for a trainer. I finally got
a chance to speak to several of them but they all
sounded the same...except one said something to me
that sounded too go to be true...guaranteed
results or your money back.
My first thought was, "Yeah, right. This is probably
just another 'deal' where the only guarantee is the
person getting my money." But the more I read, the
more interested I became and I kept focusing on
six words: guaranteed results or your money back.
It didn't make sense to me how someone could
guarantee anything when it comes to weigh loss.
After all, I had tried everything. I figured what did
I have to lose? Hopefully a lot of WEIGHT!
After meeting with the trainer for a consultation,
I could hear the sincererity in his voice. He showed
me before and after pictures of a lot people. I thought,
well I'll sign up for a few sessions to see if I like it.
Those first workouts were very difficult but I hung
in there. To my amazement, I achieved immediate
results. I lost 8 pounds in the first week!
After he began to whip this body into shape in that
first week I gave him the six months he said he
required so that I could really see great results.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE THIS TO BE YOUR NEW STORY...
Each week, more weight came off and I was
eating more than ever. My "fat" pants were now
hanging on me and people commented on how great
I looked. My energy was at an all time high and I was
excited that I might actually reach my first goal: lose
20 pounds by my 45th birthday.
My second goal: lose an additional 10 pounds by
June 1. My most exciting moment came when I
was preparing a package to send to my in-laws
and had to weigh it. I got on the scale, holding this
large box, and it was about 9 pounds.
I checked the weight of the box several times, and
now it is getting pretty heavy. So I set it on the counter,
and looked at its "bulk" and the light bulb finally came
on. The weight of that box (and MORE!) used to be
on my body!
I looked in the mirror and truly checked out my body
from all angles, and smiled my biggest smile.
Suddenly, I felt like I had just won the biggest race
of my life. I was finally a winner.
With my "new body" and new positive attitude,
I look forward to each day with a whole new zest.
Eating is now FUN and the scale is an exciting part
of my day that I actually look forward to.
I will never be the same person again because of
the new healthy ways I have adopted. I am half
way to my ultimate goal and I know, beyond a
shadow of a doubt, that I WILL accomplish it.
If I have been successful with this program, so can
anyone. I highly recommend it!
Thank you Jeffery, for your endless enthusiasm and
encouragement. There just aren't enough words to
convey my gratitude. You, and your workout program,
literally saved my life."

Red Wines from Spain Tasting Experience Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 7:30PM
Join us this week to experience reds from Spain. Please bring one bottle of red from Spain and your own wine glass. Hope to see you there! Will be a great time!
Spanish wines are wines produced in the southwestern European country of Spain. Located on the Iberian Peninsula, Spain has over 2.9 million acres (over 1.17 million hectares) planted—making it the most widely planted wine producing nation but it is only the third largest producer of wine in the world, the largest being Italy and France. This is due, in part, to the very low yields and wide spacing of the old vines planted on the dry, infertile soil found in many Spanish wine regions. The country is ninth in worldwide consumptions with Spaniards drinking, on average, 10.06 gallons (38 liters) a year. The country has an abundance of native grape varieties, with over 600 varieties planted throughout Spain though 80 percent of the country's wine production is from only 20 grapes—including Tempranillo, Albariño, Garnacha, Palomino, Airen, Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel·lo, Cariñena and Monastrell. Major Spanish wine regions include the Rioja and R...
“The book is proving to be of great solace. I read all of my Al-Anon books, and attend meetings, and I have a wonderful church family, but this book presents some new thoughts to me. Your book is wonderful! It is as if you have been here in my home, observing.”

Do you need to know what works and what doesn't?
Find out answers to this and many other questions. When you feel your life spinning out of control and you don’t know where else to turn, Why Don’t They Just Quit? provides the answers you so desperately seek.
You will learn:
• Can someone be totally set free from alcohol or drug addiction?
• How to “raise the bottom.”
• Can someone be totally set free from drug or alcohol addiction?
• Can Meth addicts really recover?
• Does a person need to believe in God to recover?
• What to do about someone hooked on their pain medication?
• How to deal with the “stigma” of a loved one’s substance abuse.
• What doesn’t help, what does—and why.
If you are interested, please email me with some introductory information about yourself. If you could provide your phone number, we can discuss the details and get to know each other better; but if you are not comfortable with that at this point, we could first communicate by email. If the group doesn't work out, or if you are not interested in meeting as a group, I would also be interested in just developing a supportive friendship.
WeI’ve been getting a lot of emails asking if we have fast solution to help with the shrinking the waist, hips and buns area…
… while there is no quick fix (I don’t care what the infomercials claim) I did go to the drawing board and crafted a new 21 day rapid fat loss program that’s right up your alley – if you want fast results.
You probably know that boot camp is pretty much full, but we do have room for another small group so I thought I’d let you know that my NEW 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss program starts Monday, November 16th at 9:00 am and the best part is that the 21 day program is discounted to only $157 and INCLUDES a 21 day meal plan program.
The only catch we can only take on 20 participates. So if you’re ready to fit into your skinny jeans again and want to firm and tone your body all while dropping inches and pounds then make sure to register for our 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss Bootcamp.
Here’s how to register…
Just call me at 267-205-0013 and let me know that you want in on the 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss Bootcamp and we'll get you all dialed and ready for Monday or just go to this special 21 Day registration page: << http://www.RealFitnessResults.com >>
The class will take place Monday – Friday at 9:00 am at the art museum.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

P.S. Like I said we only have room for 20 more participants for the 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss program and this is going out to the art museum and fairmout aea residents. so I’m sure it will fill out quickly.
If you have 3-5 teachers that are willing to spend a few hours to gain some great non-harmful techniques that can be applied directly in the classroom, effectively deal with behavior outbursts, regain your sanity and control, and recharge your student's interst in learning, then contact me and set up your Urban Classroom Behavior Group.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are conducting a study to understand why it is that individuals with anemia crave and eat ice.
Who can participate?
Anyone age 18 and older who is anemic and eats a lot of ice, ice chips or drinks a lot of ice water is eligible to participate.
What does this study entail?
You will be asked to come to the University of Pennsylvania and complete a number of tasks – including tests of memory and reaction time on a computer game. You CANNOT eat ice or consume anything cold for at least ONE HOUR before participating. The study will take approximately one hour of your time. Either you can bring information with you about your hemoglobin and serum ferritin levels or we can contact your physician (with your consent), if that is easier for you.
When can I participate?
We are scheduling participants right now! Email Jessica Olli at olli@sas.upenn.edu to schedule a time.

Many people ask these questions but don’t know where to find the answers.
Are life’s issues and stresses pulling you apart?
Are there problems with communication, shared goals, or intimacy?

Maintaining, growing, or restoring a relationship requires effort. We will help you learn how to have your mutual needs met in your current relationship or if the relationship can be repaired.
Or perhaps you are getting out of a bad relationship and wondering where to go from here. If you are just leaving a relationship, is there a pattern in your life where you repeatedly make bad choices in choosing a partner? Are you likely to make the same mistakes again?

The Tri-State Girls group, offers the opportunity to meet positive fun women in the PA, NJ and Delaware area!

Are communications difficulties, lack of common goals, and the stresses of everyday life pulling you apart?

Maintaining, growing, or restoring a relationship requires effort. We will help you learn how to have your mutual needs met in your current relationship.

Ashtanga yoga is the best full-body physical workout you will ever experience along with wonderful meditative benefits. I teach in the traditional Mysore style, great for both beginners and for those who already have an established practice. Your employees will only progress into the practice as they are able. The benefits of a regular yoga practice are numerous including better flexibility, stress reduction, injury prevention, weight loss, and overall improvement in health and wellness. In 8 months one of my students, whom had no prior yoga experience, lost 70 pounds. Of course he worked hard to achieve that result along with full-body strengthening, toning and increased physical endurance. Another student was thrilled that she dropped a full dress size practicing with me 2 times a week over 2 months. Other students tell me how their back problems, breathing and posture have improved.
My group/corporate rate is $250 for 1 1/2 hour sessions, only $25 each when 10 people participate. My special Craigslist individual private rate is $80* a session. Reduced rate multiple weekly and shared session rates are offered. (Regular rate is $90 a session)

Do you miss that deliciously wonderful feeling of victory of taking the Board...and making it? When's the last time you rubbed a head or laid down a hundred Aces with Double Pinochle???? Do you miss the strategy, the energy, the challenge, the sheer excitement from a REALLY GOOD game of Pinochle??!

It's easy enough to learn...or re-learn. Why not get the blood pumping and the adrenaline rushing again?? C'mon ,you know you want to!!!

Accessing both the personal images and universal symbols, we gain direction in our psychological work and raise awareness for a more fulfilling every day, waking life. Bring a dream.

It can be a powerful asset for individual growth and harmony or a source of tension and conflict. With the absence of good role models, poor communication skills and negative patterns often arise. Participants are offered the opportunity to explore aspects of their relationship within a safe, supportive context, to raise awareness of what works and doesn’t, and to learn how to create a fulfilling experience for both. Couples of all ages, stages, and life styles are invited.
Facilitators: Dr. Marion Rudin Frank (see above) and Dr. Vincenzo Sanguineti, MD.
Dr Sanguineti has been in clinical practice specializing in Adult Psychiatry for over 30 years. Currently in private practice in psychiatry in center city, he is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Jefferson University, where he was director of an inpatient unit. Formerly, he was a faculty member at Yale and lived in Africa, where he did missionary medicine. He has had numerous articles published in professional journals and has authored four books including The Rosetta Stone of the Human Mind (Springer) and Landscapes in My Mind (Psychosocial Press).

Our Mission
The GLBT Spirituality Group meets to provide a safe space for young (20’s, 30’s and 40’s) GLBT people to gather and be themselves, to create community and to nurture their spiritual life. Anchored in the Christian tradition, we welcome all women and men of every faith.

A Reflective Afternoon
for the GLBT Community
Wake to Wonderment!
Our world waited eons for creatures to applaud it consciously. We are the first…the first to know we are its consciousness and its only means to be thankful.…the first to know our family’s future needs us to evolve.
As Daylight Saving Time passes and while this hemisphere once again moves into its slumber mode, we take a few hours away to wake to the wonderment of being alive.
This program offers the time, space and materials for reflecting, sharing and praying. Come join others to be a part of a larger caring community for remembering of what is good in life.

Philadelphia Outdoor Adventurers Club - TerraMar Adventures
We're a group of outdoor adventure travel enthusiasts who love to explore Philadelphia and the surrounding areas, as well as other foreign destinations.

I am very excited at how much fun...
Calling all Skiers Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 7:00PM
We are getting together tonight to set the skiing calander for this winter. Where should we go? How often? Should we rent a cabin? You help us decide!
The group ($20) will last for seven week increments, and re-boot every two months.
We'll play some classics -- Monopoly, Clue, and others -- as well as party games like Cranium and Taboo, as well as obscure modern games such as Settlers of Cataan.
If you are interested, please email me with some introductory information about yourself. If you could provide your phone number, we can discuss the details and get to know each other better; but if you are not comfortable with that at this point, we could first communicate by email. If the group doesn't work out, or if you are not interested in meeting as a group, I would also be interested in just developing a supportive friendship.
Some knowledge of investing is helpful but not required. However, general computer knowledge is important. We analyze stocks based on the principals of long term investors like Warren Buffet, George Nicholson, Benjamin Graham and John Bogle.
We meet on the third Tuesday of each month in Fox Chase (near Rhawn Street and Huntingdon Pike) from 7 p.m. to 9.p.m. We find this an excellent learning from which to manage our own portfolios at home, because of hands-on stock evaluating.
There are some minimal costs involved. All members use the PC program "Toolkit 6" to analyze the club's holdings. This program is not purchased from our club. We DO NOT sell anything. You may purchase the program on your own from "BetterInvesting.org". Also, each member is required to invest a minimum of $30 at each monthly meeting which becomes part of your own investment.
If you are interested in learning more about investing with a model portfolio, or if you have questions about our club, please contact Ben at 215-725-1971. No solicitations please!
