Welcome to the AAII Philadelphia Chapter

Fellow Philadelphia Chapter Members:

After lengthy consultations among your officers and a vote by your board of directors, we very reluctantly decided to cancel our March 31st meeting, in order to protect you from COVD-19. You don’t need me to tell you that an effective way to contract this dangerous and sometimes fatal disease is to be in close quarters with many people, for a long time. That’s why Penn, Temple, and Villanova decided to replace classroom instruction with web-based classes until the end of the current semester, why the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia will reschedule its March and April programs, and why professional sports have been shut down.

The bottom line of your officers and board members is that we will not put our fellow members’ health at risk — no exceptions and no excuses. Any inconvenience to you, resulting from our meeting cancelation is trivial compared to the potential consequences of our holding the March 31 meeting. Fortunately, Jeffrey Hirsch has graciously agreed to speak at a future meeting. Until the coronavirus settles down, we will not know what that date will be. In any case, if you have already paid for our March 31 meeting you will be fully compensated for your fee, once we learn how the coronavirus plays out.

Thank you for your support.

Dr. Gerald B. Levin, Secretary
