Professional Business Singles Network ( PBSN ), serving the Tri-State area southeast Pennsylvania ( Philadelphia and Suburbs ), All of New Jersey and Delaware since 1981, is a social and personal growth organization devoted to the welfare and interests of professional and business single individuals. PBSN's Services are organized into three main areas: Most events have 45% men and 55% women attending. People come from every walk of professional life, most have a college degree, or have a position with management level responsibilities, or are a business owner. The age group ranges from the late 30's to the late 60's. The average age for an open all ages event is in the early 50's. Generally all ages are represented; however, we do host specific events targeting the 20's 30's and early 40's group in order to provide these individuals with a setting to meet other younger participants. In addition, some events are hosted specifically for the older participants. These events will usually be labeled OVER 40, OVER 45, or 50 Plus Age Group. Attendance will range between 20 and 50 people for an after work social, 25 to 60 for a house party, 100 to 200 for a dance. Application for organization registration ( membership ) will be accepted from individuals who have a college degree, or have a position with management level responsibilities, or are a business owner, or are enrolled in an accredited program of higher education leading to a college degree. Please provide additional qualifications that should be considered for acceptance of your application.

Some of these events are organized as benefit parties for local charity and not-for-profit organizations like The American Cancer Society, Deborah Hospital Foundation, The Philadelphia Orchestra, The Spayed Club, The March of Dimes, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the American Heart Association. Cultural events have included a Christmas Trolley Tour of the Historic Fairmount Park Houses in Philadelphia, "DELACROIX: The Late Work" Exhibit At the Philadelphia Museum of Art with brunch, The Philadelphia Orchestra, Longwood Gardens, and the Nicholas and Alexandra Exhibition, and Pennsylvania Ballet. As a public service we also announce select not-for-profit events and programs that may be of interest to our single readership. Each PBSN event lists a two tier activity fee: $xx/xx, the first indicates the amount paid by a PBSN member, the second gives the amount paid by a nonmember ( Guest ) participant. A nonmember usually pays $3 to $15 more than a PBSN member to attend. Please present all passes and special invitation when signing-in, none redeemed later No Refunds Our hosts/hostesses have asked PBSN to publish this information as it is always prime party-time. Activity Fees: The event activity fee is often given as $xx/$xx in our activity write-ups. The first amount is the activity fee paid by a PBSN member who has paid the $65 annual registration fee and carries a gold PBSN membership card. The second amount is the activity fee paid by all other participants, a fee often referred to as the Guest Fee. Food / Beverage Contribution: As you know, PBSN has events where partygoers are asked to bring a special hors d'oeuvre, white wine or beer to share. We ask your help in bringing a food or beverage contribution for a number of reasons: * To keep the price of the event down. * Our host ( ess ) appreciates assistance in preparing and providing food and beverage items for the party. * Participants have an opportunity to show off their culinary talents. * It permits a more varied menu. At house parties the Host ( ess ) provides non-alcoholic beverages, coffee, potato chips, pretzels, and / or other similar items. PBSN asks that partygoers bring something different. In particu
