DEPhilly
Celebrates 1st Anniversary with 2nd Annual Taming Technostress Event
This year's
Taming Technostress may have been sans last year's local media coverage,
but it did not lack in fervor or the resulting release of . well . stress.
Participating
DEvas met for a 45-minute walk of lovely, historic Old City in Philadelphia.
Activities included aerobic conditioning, resistance training and stretching,
plus lots and lots of great conversation and camaraderie. At the end
of the event, several of the DEvas stayed on to continue the festivities
over an impromptu lunch. The weather was gorgeous, and the company better.
All in all, an enjoyable time was had by all.
Coping
with the Emotional Aftermath of September 11th
To help our
local members cope with the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001,
the DigitalEve Philly chapter hosted a spontaneous evening of comfort.
With the help of friends, we talk about the events of that day, as well
as any old thing as people tend to do when the events our lives become
too overwhelming to be classified as normal.
DEvas
met at the London Bar and Grill, a restaurant/bar in the Fairmount section
of Philadelphia. Topics raised ranged from the state of the economy,
to personal gripes with Verizon and cable service, from Heather Dougherty's
new job, the Burning Man, to exercise. Again the early evening was pleasantly
mild, breezy without direct sun, enabling us to commune with nature.
The crowd was a nice mix of old and new members and we were able to
give a great, big personalize welcome to Jessica, who joined the DEPhilly
after moving to the States from Canada. Welcome Jessica!
Mentoring
Big Sisters of Philadelphia
On August 4, 2001, DigitalEve
Philadelphia held its second annual mentoring program for participants
in the Big Sisters/ Little Sisters Program of Big Sisters of Philadelphia.
Space for the event and all equipment were generously donated by Brad
Aronson, president of i_FRONTIER, a leading interactive advertising agency
located in Center City. Brad and his company also donated lunch and gift
certificates.
Interactive
presentations were lead by DigitalEve members, Mary Scholl, Lorraine Pasquali,
Katie Murray, Heather Sherman and Lisa Ziemer. The girls and their Big
Sisters got to learn and practice computer and Internet skills. Activities
including guiding the girls through the process of signing up for their
own free email account, using the gift certificates provided by i-FRONTIER
to shop on-line and visiting interesting educational sites. All the while,
Internet safety skills were explained, discussed and reinforced.
While
the main speaker lead the discussion, other members of DigitalEve assisted
those who needed extra attention, or who had additional questions. This
year's helping DEvas were Lisa Ziemer, Alexandra Buczek, Karen Scanlon,
and Laurel Katz.
DigitalEve
Philadelphia would like to thank Noelle Egan, for organizing this event
on behalf of Big Sisters of Philadelphia and Steering Committee member,
and Mary Scholl for organizing it on behalf of DigitalEve. We'd also like
to thank all those who participated in the event and Brad Aronson for
his continued support.
