Please help Philly House meet the basic needs of the hungry, homeless, and hurting in Philadelphia. The men who turn to Philly House looking for refuge often need items that we might take for granted. You can make a big difference by donating items at the February 6 PCMA PHL meeting, or purchasing items through their Amazon Wish List.

The most needed items are new men’s boxers and t-shirts (large and x-large), toiletries, toothbrushes, hats, gloves, and scarves.

Monetary donations are also accepted through their website.

**Are You Prepared for a Travel Emergency?**

What would you do if you, a loved one, or a colleague lost their license or passport while traveling? How would you assist an attendee or employee who misplaced vital medication during a convention, especially if a pharmacy isn’t readily available? On a larger scale, what if a hurricane unexpectedly shifted course, putting your hotel or event directly in its path—forcing attendees to evacuate?

Join us at the PCMA PHL breakfast meeting, Duty of Care in Action: Protecting People and Events, and learn from the experts at International SOS how to effectively manage emergencies and crisis situations. From simple tips—like keeping your passport in a plastic bag—to handling complex challenges such as large-scale evacuations, this session will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to navigate unexpected situations.
