At our recent September meeting at the Union League of Philadelphia, our president Mark Myers continue a tradition and presented an engraved leather portfolio to our recent past president, John URBANCHUK. The beautiful leather portfolio is emblazoned with the logo of the Society and also inscribed with the name of the president and year of service. The portfolio will be a continuing reminder of our appreciation for the year of service given by John URBANCHUK as our president.
