PCC'S MONTHLY DANCE PARTIES!

Our monthly dances are some of PCC’s most popular special events! Held at night toward the end of each month, our dances alternate between locations in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, making it easy for members across Long Island to join the fun.

Each dance brings a new theme, a DJ spinning great beats, festive lights and decorations, delicious eats, and, plenty of moves on the dance floor. Whether you come ready to dance or simply enjoy the company of friends, there’s always a reason to celebrate at PCC.


Speed-friending is officially fun!


PCC is proud to host official Speed-friending game nights!  

This structured game provides the support participants need to comfortably foster social connections and make lasting friends. It's a lively, pressure free, way for people to meet and get to know others. 

We are so excited to share our lives, likes, stories and interests with all our new friends!

WINE & CHEESE ART AUCTION

A Celebration of Art, Community & Connection

PCC’s Wine & Cheese Art Auction was a beautiful afternoon filled with creativity, laughter, and community. Guests enjoyed delicious wine and artisanal cheeses while exploring an incredible collection of artwork created by PCC members, participating in the auction and raffle, and connecting with friends and supporters. Set against a beautiful summer backdrop, the afternoon was a wonderful celebration of creativity and togetherness, and the generosity of our artists, sponsors, supporters, and guests helped make this inaugural event truly special. Most importantly, it was a day filled with beautiful art, wonderful company, and the simple joy of coming together.

PCC NEWS UPDATE

On Thursday, May 2nd, PCC and friends gathered at Old Westbury’s Student Union Rec Room for game night! Thanks to Dr. Sanja of the NYS Regional Center for Autism at Old Westbury, we were given the opportunity to spend some time on the campus, where we played games such as ping pong, foosball, pool, and various board games. There were delicious pizzas and snacks. We even had a Kahoot trivia game contest. Three different people won a Panera gift card for coming in first place!

PCC is so lucky to have friends that are willing to help us out when we need a helping hand. While Glee Leader Camille was out on maternity leave, Anita, Anna & Katherine stepped up to the plate and were our substitute Big Time Glee leaders.

To celebrate and support Autism Awareness Month, Positive Community Connections supported our neurodivergent community by attending the Unity Through Diversity event at the Madison Theater at Molloy College. This event was presented by The Rebecca Center for Music Therapy at Molloy University. Our PCC members in attendance first enjoyed a reception, listening to live jazz, mingling, socializing, and viewing some artwork displayed in the lobby area.

PCC members were given the opportunity to visit The Studio, at The Sachem Public Library to learn about some one-of-a-kind technology. Members learned about 3-D Printing, Sound Mixing and so much more.  They were also given the opportunity for some first hand experience using some of this technology, creating a laser engraving, which was a very special group project. Together we created not only a memorable piece of work, but also some pretty special memories in doing so.
