Hi campers & camper families,

June is becoming our busy time, second only to August in the amount of fun you can have. Take, for instance, the last full week of June. Tuesday, June 24th at 6:30pm, we hold a volunteer meet & greet at Franklin Fountain.

And then, on Saturday, there’s this:

We’re proud to have these amazing bands representing for us, so come on down & represent for your own self! See you there….

Meet & Greet & Eat Something Sweet & Rock To The Beat

girlsrockphilly — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:40:02 +0000

Some things never stop being fun, no matter how old you get. Things like ice cream parties & singing really loudly to great songs. That’s why you should stop by a GRP volunteer meet & greet this summer.

We’ll be hanging out at the delicious Franklin Fountain (Market Street between Front & 2nd Streets) on Tuesday June 24th, at 6:30 PM.

And then we’ll be here:

Thank you!

Thanks to all of you, we made nearly $3000 yesterday at our benefit & silent auction at Triumph Brewery. Not bad for a free, 3-hour show.

Thanks to all our bands, donors, bidders & attendees for a lot of fun on a busy Sunday afternoon. All of the money goes directly to the campers: scholarships for camp week, instruments, and rent for our year-round practice space.

Perhaps you heard about us through this piece on KYW (1060AM). Or perhaps you read about us in the City Paper. We’re glad to have you see what we’re all about.

And right now, we’re all about this:

See you there this Sunday!

Thanks & Updates & Applications!

girlsrockphilly — Tue, 13 May 2008 20:14:42 +0000

Thanks to everyone who came out to our volunteer meet & greet! We’ll be having our next one soon, so watch this space.

Another thing to watch for: our camp as it fills up with campers! Apply before June 15th to reserve your space in GRP 2008!

And finally: we’re bringing a number of summer screenings of Girls Rock! The Movie to Philadelphia! Postcard coming soon.

Meet Us, Greet Us, Margaritas!

If you’re new & want information about GRP, come on down!

If you’re returning as a volunteer & want to see everyone again, come on down!

If you like to eat at Cantina, who can blame you for coming down?

See you Saturday!

To Your Right, You Will See Our Events Calendar

And on that calendar, you will see that camper band Oak Oak Okay is playing the Philly Roller Girls double-header bout at the Sportsplex this Saturday, May 3rd at 5pm!

All this fun is actually a benefit for Girls Rock Philly, so you’ll support two groups of ladies at once! GRP will also have postcards, applications, t-shirts and guitar picks on hand for you.

The Sportsplex is in Feasterville, PA — visit here for maps & directions.
