We are so fortunate to have so much talent under our roof! Thank you to all the volunteers that made our Xtravaganza so special! Thanks to Mark Harvey for being such an entertaining emcee. We appreciate all the hard work of our students, instructors, and group leaders to provide such an entertaining afternoon! Happy New Year! PASC Hosts Franklin School STudents We had such a wonderful time hosting a dozen or so students from Franklin Elementary School for 6 days. These are part of an Enrichment Cluster which gets them out into our Community. The students fundraise to offset the costs involved. Thanks to the generosity of our Center instructors and group leaders we provided the students with a wide variety of experiences: Pickleball, Line Dancing, Beading, Wii, Bingo, Singing with our Senior Singers, and Singing with our Ukulele Group. In the students own words, “I loved my cluster. It was very fun playing with senior center people.” “I am so glad I chose this cluster. I had a great time…” “I never knew what Pickleball was before this cluster. Thank you for all your help.” I appreciate the time and energy of all our folks here at PASC who made our guests feel welcome. Thanks, to their teacher, Stephanie Glochnour, and the parents who assisted each day. What a positive experience for all! We have posted the students Thank You notes in our lobby. Please reading them! PASC Needs Vol “u” nteers! PA Senior Center Volunteers make our world go ‘round! Without Volunteers, there is no way we could accomplish all the wonderful things we do here.
