Hear ye, hear ye! The Chimes turn eighty—and Philadelphia throws open two of its oldest doors.

For those arriving on Thursday, the Pattons have offered to host the Chimes for dinner on the Main Line.

This Bobby Weed–designed layout features a formidable slope rating of 141 and is ranked by Golf Digest among the premier public courses in Pennsylvania. A former stop on the PGA Tour Saturday Series and host of a 2006 U.S. Open qualifier, it promises a tour-quality experience.

They don’t sell alcohol, but you’re free to bring your own for the patio or deck after your round; alcohol on the course is prohibited.

Nota bene—golfers will miss the Reading Terminal lunch, owing to travel time.

One of the most satisfying, immersive experiences in all of Philadelphia. This repurposed historic train station buzzes with everything the city has to offer—something for the young and the old, the gourmand and the goomba, the connoisseur and the carnivore, the sweet tooth and the savorer, and everyone in between. Fresh produce, confections, sandwiches, soups, pretzels—you name it. Lunch is a pleasure here, and a great place for photo ops. Zach won’t steer you wrong.

Dr. Barnes curated his Main Line home with priceless works by Matisse, Cézanne, Renoir, Picasso, van Gogh, and Modigliani. He dreamed of lifting people out of life’s drudgery by exposing them to beauty—and posthumously that dream is realized, now in a gorgeous modern museum with a fountain, garden, and inviting pathways. Through the goodwill of Brother Chime Judson Van Dervort #128, an experienced docent will accompany you to reveal the collection’s depth and complexity. Rumor has it Chimes artist Kirk Moore #86 may make an appearance.

The clubhouse is ours again Saturday. Drop in, hang out, sing, peruse Chimes memorabilia, and grab a hoagie, a beer, or a soft drink.

Historian David McCullough and filmmaker Ken Burns sing its praises. The MoAR uncovers the diverse people and complex events that sparked America’s ongoing experiment in liberty, equality, and self-government.

Nota bene—The museum is running its once-a-year Revolutionary Philadelphia living-history experience this day, so while entry time is flexible, we recommend arriving early to take full advantage. You can pop out to head to Independence Hall or lunch, then head back in after.

Join Musical Director Stephen Yupa #294 and the Actives to workshop “It Is Well With My Soul.”

Nota bene—to learn ahead of Reunion, you may access sheet music and learning tracks here.

We hold this truth to be self-evident: you’ve got to see Independence Hall if you come to Philly. From humble beginnings to world power, see where the American dream first took shape—and stand in the same hall as those brave enough to call themselves American.

Nota bene—This reservation was specially secured through the Orpheus Club.

We run it twice on purpose. Prefer a slower Saturday start, or simply want the masters all over again? The Barnes opens to us a second time, with the same expert docent by grace of Judson Van Dervort #128 and the same works by Matisse, Cézanne, Renoir, Picasso, van Gogh, and Modigliani. Rumor has it Chimes artist Kirk Moore #86 might materialize with a sketchbook. Come whichever time suits your weekend.

You’ve got the right to see this place. How better to join the debate over our country’s core principles than to visit the source? Examine the primary texts, the place, and the people who forged the Constitution.

Nota bene—group entry required: Please arrive promptly, as the museum requires us to enter the facility together as a single group.

Two tours, two times—10:30 and 1:10—so Independence Hall slots neatly into your Saturday, whichever way you build it. Visit the room where the improbable became the inevitable, where a handful of stubborn optimists signed their names and meant it. Pick the time that suits you, and please arrive promptly, as there will be a security screening upon entry.

Nota bene—This reservation was specially secured through the Orpheus Club.

Attend Mass at St. Patrick Church, which has served Rittenhouse’s Catholic Community since 1839.

Incorporation, slow motions, and the long Wazoo.

• GCAA Board Meeting at 10:00 a.m.
• GCAA Annual General Meeting at 11:00 a.m.

Across the street from the Hyatt. No need to wander far on your way out of town. A sumptuous brunch of Mediterranean flavors: one last table together before the weekend lets go. Give your Brother Chimes a proper farewell.

Note bene—registration covers food, inclusive of its tax, gratuity, and administrative fees. Beverages—and their associated tax and gratuity—will be billed separately on-site.
