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.

PCC Members had met for lunch at the Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet in North Babylon. There was so much to choose from! From delicious sushi to classic Chinese food fare, the options were endless. Everything we tasted was finger-licking good. What is better than sharing a fantastic meal with friends? 

Members of Nassau Voice had started off their spring by making spring baskets for children in the pediatric ward at South Nassau Hospital in Oceanside, NY. Each basket included handmade flowers and activities that are sure to brighten up the faces of each child who will be receiving them. We are so proud of the hard work and thoughtfulness that went into these baskets. Way to go Nassau Voice!

What can we say? We had another SUCCESSFUL Speed Friending Meetup!!!!! We had such a great time getting to know new people. Participants learned about their peers' favorite hobbies and shared some laughs. We wanted to give a BIG PCC THANK YOU to our friends at the Barry and Florence JCC in Oceanside for co-hosting this event at your space. We can't wait to work with you in the near future. And to Positive Behavior Academy for creating such a way to meet new people.

PCC members had a blast teaming up and engaging in a laser tag battle! We showed teamwork and good sportsmanship during our laser tag play. Nice job, PCC members! The Arcade play to follow was awesome. Shooting hoops and driving motorcycles in video games was a blast. 

PCC members met up at the Gamer’s Club in West Hempstead. This place was an awesome space to play video games. They had PlayStation 5, XBOX, Nintendo Switch and also some classic arcade games such as Pac-Man. Members really enjoyed the WWE game and the MLB baseball game, having a classic match up between the Yankees and the Mets! We highly recommend this place for anyone who loves video games! 

PCC was proud to be part of the Longwood SEPTO and Branches Family Fun Day! We spent the afternoon meeting so many people and organizations.  We chatted with so many, speaking about PCC and its mission.  We were honored to be part of this awesome community outreach event and look forward to partaking in future ones. 

We sure felt the luck of the Irish at Huntington's St. Patrick's Day Parade! Everyone one showed up in their green festive wear, ready to listen to some bagpipes and watch hundreds march and show their Irish pride. We clapped, cheered and did a little jig to show our enthusiasm. We didn't find a pot of gold, but we had luck on our side with the rain holding out and enjoying each other's company! 

Aloha!!! PCC Members sure knew how to bring the Hawaiian heat to our Winter Luau!!!!! Everyone showed up in their bright, festive Luau attire, with a smile on their faces, ready to party. We sang and danced to some of today's hottest party tunes and enjoyed the time with our friends. Here's to hoping that this Luau brings on the warmer weather, sooner rather than later!
