This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 3-8

I got a nice note the other day from the Wayne Presbyterian Church, asking me to tell folks about the Career Networking meeting they will be holding on Monday, March 9. This is a follow-up to a session they had with Tom Lombardi a few weeks ago. I overheard a few people talking about this session, and they apparently loved it (from what I overheard). Wayne Presby has a meeting every week, but this Monday's session is focused specifically discussing the ideas Tom Lombardi outlined.
