The Frankford Northeast Philadelphia Rotary Club

A graduate from the Temple University Beasley School of Law, Andrew Alston serves at Metka Law as a trial lawyer. In January 2020, lawyer Andrew Alston was admitted as a new member of the Frankford Northeast Philadelphia Rotary Club (FNPRC).

The FNPRC was created to provide a networking space for professionals and business leaders, as well as for raising funds to help the community. It is part of Rotary International, a global network of people committed to work together to fight disease, promote peace, and provide clean sanitation, water, and hygiene, among other initiatives.

Among the many charitable projects currently being developed by FNPRC are raising funds for graduate and undergraduate scholarships for meritorious students, sponsoring global projects from Rotary International, and donating food to the Bethany AME Church Food Bank.

FNPRC members have a regular meeting on the first and third Tuesday of each month. This meeting is held in Philadelphia at Maggie’s Waterfront Cafe, and it is scheduled from 12:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
