Positive Community Connections had their 8th Annual Golf Outing at the beautiful Huntington Country Club. It was a beautiful day to play some golf and raise money for a great cause. Golfers enjoyed the day playing their favorite game and volunteers enthusiastically helped sell raffle tickets, set up and assist in any way that was needed. We can't thank everyone enough for helping us make the day a great success. We hope to see our volunteers and golfers back at next year's event! 

PCC & Friends jumped in the DeLorean Time Machine and went back to the 80s for a radical dance party. There were party goers dressed in 80s neon outfits, others wearing t-shirts of bands from that time period, popular games on their shirts such as Pac-Man, movies and more. We had a boombox piñata that we broke open, amazing punch, cupcakes, delicious pizza from Lombardo's of Seaford.

PCC Members & Friends kicked off Memorial Day weekend in a high-flying way! We watched the warm-up run for the Jones Beach Air Show. It was a great way to celebrate and honor those who have served and given their lives for our country. The Air Show was amazing. The paratroopers landed near us and the airplanes zipped across the skyand. We had plenty of smiles and relaxation sitting together under our canopy tent. It was another day of beautiful weather and good vibes.

PCC reached new heights at our Fire Island-Robert Moses Lighthouse Meetup. It was nothing but blue skies and endless sea and sunshine.  Members learned about the history of the lighthouse and were also given the opportunity to climb all the way up to the pinnacle.  It was one of the coolest things we've done together!

Last week, PCC had its Annual Meeting.

Wow, we sure had gotten "schooled' at the Cold Spring Harbor Fish Hatchery last week!! We learned about so many different types of fish, turtles and other amphibians. The Fish Hatchery gave us a wonderful tour of the premises and taught us so much. We were even given the chance to feed some fish!! Members had so much fun!

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.
