Stop by Jake's Way Back Burgers (250 South Main Street (formerly Elkton Road) in the Rittenhouse Square building on Saturday between noon and 4pm and help our pool!
 
This is our second fund raiser (the first was very successful) and it is a great way to get some good food while helping raise funds for our pool!  Grab a burger before, during, or after our volunteer work session, or just stop by sometime between noon and 4pm Saturday and grab a quick lunch or early dinner.
