We regret to inform you that our 24th Annual Golf & Tennis Outing scheduled for June 22nd has been cancelled. Although golfing has resumed in the state of Pennsylvania, there are still too many restrictions in place to successfully execute a golf outing for over 100 golfers.

At this time, we are not planning on rescheduling the outing in 2020. This decision was not easy, and we understand that it may come as a disappointment to many, but the health and safety of our members remain our highest priority

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult time. Stay safe and healthy.

As the City of Philadelphia continues to navigate the fast-moving COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, our number one priority is the health and safety of our residents. The Philadelphia Department of Revenue recognizes that the extraordinary measures necessary to keep Philadelphians safe are having a profound impact on many residents and businesses.

To offer relief, Mayor Kenney and Revenue Commissioner Frank Breslin announced today that the Department is changing a number of payment deadlines for Real Estate and some business taxes.

After much consideration, PEPC leadership has made the decision to postpone our Luncheon Program scheduled for Tuesday, March 17 at the Union League. The health and safety of our members and the community is our primary concern and given the potential risk of COVID-19 (coronavirus), we believe it is best not to hold the program.

• If you registered for the luncheon and paid with a credit card, we will be issuing a refund to your credit card over the next few days.
• If you registered for the luncheon and paid with a check. we will be returning your check payment to you within the next few days.
• If you registered for the luncheon and have not yet paid, no payment is due.

We hope to offer our program on "Current Issues in Estate and Gift tax Audits and Litigation" at a later date. Thank you for your continued participation in our luncheon programs and your understanding at this time.
