Hello from RYP—
RYP is offering two events this week. On Thursday, join us for an RYP social at popular South Wedge restaurant Tap and Mallet. Complimentary appetizers and drinks specials will be provided. This is a great way to network with many other YPs. On Sunday, join RYP for the MS Walk at Genesee Valley Park. If you are interested in volunteering, email Susan at <susan...@technisource.com>.
Next week, join us on Wed. May 5th for an RYP Mega Mixer at RIT Inn and Conference Center. All of the local chambers of commerce will be in attendance for a great professional networking opportunity. RYP is the only non-chamber of commerce group invited to participate. The cost is $10 and includes appetizers. To RSVP, email <Michele....@rballiance.com>.
Also, join us on Sat. May 8th for the RYP Arthritis Walk at Seneca Walk. If you are interested in volunteering, email Maria at <maria....@r-y-p.org>.
RocCity Coalition's Community Engagement Survey for Young Professionals: The RocCity Coalition, a group of young professionals representing many local organizations, is interested in delving deeper into the current level of involvement of Rochester's young professional community. RocCity defines "young professional" as an individual in the beginning or middle of their career (typically age 21-45) that carries themselves in a professional manner. If you live in the Rochester area and consider yourself a young professional, please take a few moments (5-10 minutes) to complete this Community Engagement survey. <http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RocCitySurvey>
The D&C has a feature every Sunday called "Advice From The Top" where local CEOs or business leaders answer questions submitted from young
professionals. Local YP’s can ask any question about workplace issues, starting your own business, climbing the career ladder, funding, etc.
All they need from the YP (other than a question) is a photo, and their name, age and place of work! If interested, email Enid Arbelo at <ear...@rocheste.gannett.com>.
Be sure to sign up for the RYP Facebook page and follow us on Twitter!
Times: 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Location: Tap and Mallet-381 Gregory
Description: Join RYP at Rochester's beer mecca, Tap and Mallet. Tap and Mallet is a contemporary pub that is comfortable and welcoming. If you have never been before, be sure to come and relax with some of the finest beer and wine selection in Rochester, or even the nation.
Enjoy drink specials from 6-9pm in the bar area or on the back patio. The owner has discounted all seasonal draft beers and all wine in the house by a dollar for RYP members only. Members can network, meet new people, or just have a good time! You make our socials what you want them to be.

Times: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Location: InterVol
Description: For over 20 years, Intervol, a Rochester-based organization, has been providing medical equipment and services domestically and internationally.
One of their three programs, RUMS, or Recovery of Unused Medical Supplies, turns supplies and equipment that would otherwise be thrown out (filling landfills) or burned, into life-saving resources for people locally, and in other areas of the world, many of which are in desperate need of basic medical supplies.
Up to four tons of medical supplies are recycled each week, thanks to the help of local volunteers.
Please join us on Tuesday, April 27, 6-8 PM, as we learn more about this and other programs run by Intervol, and also help sort out supplies. You’ll be helping the environment and possibly saving a life.

Description: WXXI will present its third of four Community Cinema screenings, The Horse Boy, a film by Michel Orion Scott. How far would you travel to heal someone you love? For one Texas couple, it means a spiritual journey halfway around the world to Mongolia. When their son is diagnosed with autism, they seek the best treatments but nothing works… Until they discover their son’s connection to horses and the effect it has on him. Part travel adventure and shamanic quest, this is the story of how one family found a gateway into understanding their son’s life.
