On Sunday, May 21, the CISV Philly chapter gathered for our epic annual potluck party! The event welcomed more than 40 of our dedicated members as well as many new faces. It was a celebration of food, friendship, and endless laughter.
As we waited for everyone to trickle in, those who already arrived dove into some friendly competition. Spikeball and Cornhole had us running, jumping, and laughing till our sides hurt.
Good ol’ Cornhole.
Then we all made a circle and kicked off the CISV fun with the traditional, yet exhilarating Lifeboat, led by none other than our talented team of JBs. We laughed, we screamed, and we decided, round after round, who gets to leave the boat! We all come together at the end for a debrief – a time to talk and share what we learned from the activity. It was great to see everyone so eager to share their stories after the intense battles of words!
Lifeboat – a true test of survival skills.
Let’s not forget the highlight of the day – the Junior Board Election! The JB Board welcomed two new members in the 2023 – 2024 term, Gabriel and Noa, ready to showcase their leadership chops.
The shining stars of CISV Philadelphia.
As the sun reached its highest, we all gathered for wonderful potluck meal. The shared meal became a symbol of unity, reminding us of the strong bond we share as CISVers.
And to top it off, we bid farewell to those going to international camps with heartfelt send-off. Hugs and high fives filled the air, as we prepared to wrap up the 2022 – 2023 CISV year.
It was a day filled with joy, laughter, and delicious food – an absolute blast! Until September, my friends. Let’s enjoy our summer adventures and make every moment count!
