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! 

Sorry, Battleship, UNO and countless other games were played during our Game Night. Everyone enjoyed some friendly competition, conversation, and, of course, some crazy crêpes! We were so happy that we were able to reschedule this event. Game Nights are one of our members ways to hang out and spend time with one another. Shout out to Crazy Crêpe for your friendly and inviting hospitality and, of course, your AMAZING crêpes!

Members and some friends gathered to decorate and eat some delicious cupcakes! Led by Alyssa of Mimi’s kitchen, those in attendance started off the event by participating in a Kahoot trivia challenge to test their knowledge about kitchen and baking utensils. Darren came in first place. Congratulations, Darren!

Members of Positive Community Connections gathered at Casa De Spin in Massapequa for a creative afternoon. We met up, and experimented with a type of art called Spin Art. Ms. Sue and Bianca of Casa De Spin demonstrated some techniques to carry out our projects. With their guidance, we jumped right in to create our own spin art designs. It was a fantastic afternoon of creating, laughing and chatting.  

PCC Members closed out the month of January by meeting up at the Airpower Museum in Farmingdale. We were given the opportunity to go on a guided tour. During the tour, we learned about the history of the American Military and the role Long Island played in the historical World Wars. Members also had some high-flying fun climbing aboard some vintage planes, getting a feel for how it felt to be a pilot! 

PCC team members Sharin, Nicole and Cheryle were invited to attend Oceanside Library's Non Profit/Volunteer Resource Fair.  Our team members were given the opportunity to meet members of other organizations and attend various workshops.  Many fair goers stopped by PCC's table to ask questions and learn more about PCC and what we do for the community.  We thank the Oceanside Library for this opportunity and hope to return next year!
