General Announcements

PACC Donations will continue to be collected at all of our Happy Hours!

Don’t forget our furry friends!

Reaching out to all who want to be a part of our Ronald McDonald House Volunteer group:

We have been chosen by RMH to be on call when they need someone to fill in for meal prep for an evening, and we have graciously accepted the challenge!

Norene has taken on the role as our ambassador to get our volunteer group together, along with menu ideas that are quick and easy to prep for 50+ guests.

Anyone who is interested in volunteering as lead meal prep, or just as part of the team cooking the meal, we want you! Please reach out to Norene to get on the list so we are ready to go when they need us.

Also, if you have any ideas for quick meals, reach out and share with Norene so she can get it on the list.  Any questions, feel free to contact Norene at inchargeofvice@gmail.com.
