October Events

- Wednesday, 10/10 at 8:00 pm: People's Improv Theatre Mid-week often incurs frustrations from work, exhaustion from work, and the need for a break from work. Why not join your bros for an evening of free improv at the People's Improv Theatre? The PIT is located on 29th Street between 7th and 6th Ave and is host to some of the best improv groups in the city. Come grab a beer and get some much needed laughs to fuel you through the rest of the week. Contact Allison Park (allisonkpark@yahoo.com) if you're game.

- Saturday, 10/13: Apple Picking at Mackey's Orchard Fall's here, so what better way to spend it than with apple-picking and wine tasting! Join us at Mackey's Orchard for delicious home-baked goods and plenty of crisp delicious apples. We'll follow that with the Harvest Weekend at Four Sisters Winery. They have hayrides to the pumpkin patch, pick-your-own pumpkins and apples, wine tasting and tours, fresh-baked goods, and a corn maze. Contact Shamika (be268@yahoo.com) for meeting times and details.

- Friday-Sunday, 10/19-21: Atlantic City Weekend Brothers from the Delaware Valley Alumni Chapter are joining up with NYMAAC for a weekend of fun down in Atlantic City.
