Club Profile
In the land of Willie Penn & Uncle Ben ,midway between Wall St. & Pennsylvania Ave., the activites of the Stanford Club of Philadelphia are planned to address the diverse interests and talents of Stanford graduates residing within the Delaware Valley region, as well as the parents of current students.
Join us. We offer a wide range of programing; from recreational activities focusing on sports or the arts to Standford professors and local experts lecturing on vital topics. Enhance your existing knowledge or try something new. Advance scheduling and notice is a goal, but we are flexible enough to capture last-minute opportunities. Each event includes time to socialize, make new friends, exchange ideas - and, maybe, create a new (ad)venture.
Contact us by email for more information on all events listed below. Your feedback & suggestions are encouraged. Event assistance is welcome and appreciated.

SHARE Food Program is a smart idea that brings community and healthy food together. Its mission is to promote healthy living & stronger communities through affordable wholesome food. SHARE distributes thousands of pounds of food a month and also provides education and outreach programs throughout the region.
Stanford volunteers will help with the sorting, packing and bagging of groceries and fresh foodstuffs for distribution to soup kitchens and other host sites. Some of us may also help out with grounds maintenance/gardening around the facility if that suits you.
Wear your favorite Stanford gear for the group picture, as well as show our unity as we'll work alongside a couple of other volunteer groups during the morning session.
This project welcomes participants aged 12 and older.

For our next Food for Thought brunch, please join Stanford alumna Reva Jolovitz (1953, AB) for an Asian fusion meal at the CinCin Restaurant in Chestnut Hill and hear her remarkable life story.
Mrs. Jolovitz, whose grandparents fled from Russia, was born in China. After her father was transferred to the Philippines by his employer, she, her mother, and sister joined them -- on Pearl Harbor Day. Following the Japanese invasion, her family spent the next 3 years in the Santo Tomas civilian internment camp in Manila until the camp was liberated by General MacArthur. After the war, her family returned to China until the Communist takeover in 1949.
Mrs. Jolovitz graduated from Stanford in 1953, taught school in New York and Ohio, and now works as a real estate agent Maryland. She speaks a number of languages and is considered a hyperpolyglot. Her son Paul is a local talk show radio host and her daughter Jenna is active in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles.
Mrs. Jolovitz will share with us her unique life story growing up in China, surviving the rigors of the Santo Tomas camp, attending Stanford in the early 1950s, and acquiring her proficiency in languages.
Al Weintraub, a veteran and Philadelphia native who participated in the liberation of Santo Tomas, will join us.
