PCC News Update

Our PCC Members welcomed in the first days of spring by hiking the beautiful grounds of the Bayard Cutting Arboretum. The grounds of this historic Long Island manor is home the hundreds of species of trees and plants. Surrounded by the Connetquot River, waterfowl, turtles and the occasional happy human can be found floating around its shores!!

This was the perfect meetup to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Members of PCC enjoyed a theatrical experience this past weekend Sat 3/11/23 attending “Head Over Heels” at the Madison theater on the campus of Molloy College. Fun things are happening in Nassau for PCC and new members such as Carolyn are taking advantage of these cool meetups. Carolyn was spotted dancing during this musical “Head Over Heels” that featured the music of The Go-Gos and all female new wave/pop rock band front the 80s! Until the next one!

suff game night

What's better then a night with good friends, delicious crepes and gaming adventures?

Our PCC members had so much fun during our Suffolk Game Night at the Crazy Crepe Cafe in Lake Ronkonkoma. We played some of our favorite board games like Jenga, Sorry and Uno while munching on crepe creations stuffed with sweet goodness! There was big laughs during our group games as our members danced and wiggled through funny competitions and charades.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
