Britain Unites – Bridging Connections Across the LGBT Community
Thursday, May 17, 2018
The Pyramid Club
On the third Thursday of every month, the LGBTQ Committee of the Pyramid Club partners with LGBTQ friendly groups to provide an evening of food, drinks, and networking. These evenings offer participating groups the opportunity to connect and network. On Thursday on May 17, 2018, the LGBTQ Committee of the Pyramid Club collaborated with the BABCPHL, Barclays, Pennsylvania Ballet, PHYLA, and Resource Solutions for a British-themed happy hour.
Guests took the elevator up to the 52nd floor where they were greeted with spectacular views and delicious food. Appetizers included a wonderful spread of meats, cheeses, olives, and stuffed peppers surrounded by a self-serve beer station. Beer, wine, and cocktail lovers enjoyed discounted drinks at the bar. Delicious British-themed entrees were replenished throughout the evening, and included bangers and mash with scallops and bacon, fish and chips, cottage pie, and many other dishes. The room, surrounded by large glass windows, allowed unobstructed views of the Philadelphia skyline.
The diverse crowd included executives from regional and global companies, students, and artists. Networking and conversation abounded, and kept going until late in the evening.
BABCPHL member Philadelphia Union donated tickets and other items. Around 7:00 pm, Maureen Coyle, Managing Director of The Pyramid Club, chose a winner. Guests continued eating, drinking and networking until 8:00 pm. The evening was a success and left everyone with a smile. The BABCPHL would like to thank all partnering organizations and The Pyramid Club for hosting the event.
