PCC Members and Friends had fun and great conversation at our Speed Friending at the North Shore Public Library in Shoreham. Attendees had the time to talk to peers, and ask them questions about their favorite hobbies. Everyone learned something new about eachother and had a great time doing so!
The best way to spread holiday cheer is by singing out loud for all to hear! Our Coffee & Karaoke Pajama Party meetup was a BLAST and definetly one for the books! We jingled bell rocked and sang the night away. We sure do have some talented members. The set of pipes our members have are INCREDIBLE!!! It was such a great night. We couldn't think of a better way to stay warm and be festive with our friends!
PCC had a magical time seeing Elf: The Musical. It was so much fun seeing Buddy and Friends live on stage. We laughed and sang along the whole time. It was so nice for all of us to experiene this fun, laugh out loud musical together. In the words of Buddy the Elf, " The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!"
There were nothing but smiles and strikes at our latest Member Bowling Meetup! Members spent an afternoon bowling a couple of games at East Islip Lanes and had a ball! It was nice to see everyone bowl together and work as a team. Teamwork, really does make the dream work! We can't wait for our next bowling meetup in the future.
