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!

PCC  and PTW (Positive Transitions to Work) friends came together to watch a college ice hockey game. The LIU Sharks played Stonehill Skyhawks from Massachusetts and it was an action packed, hard hitting, fast moving game of ice hockey. Our group cheered passionately for our local team and for some, school team, the Sharks! We had so much fun yelling out loud and clapping after each goal the Sharks scored It was nice to root our team on for an 8-2 victory!!!

Our PCC Members and Friends brought the fun to a whole new level during our Dave & Busters meetup!  Games were played and prizes were won.  There was something for everyone. We came, we gamed and we conqured! It was one of the best ways to spend the afternoon with friends. 

  PCC members and friends showed up at Round One in the Broadway Mall to take part in a ping pong tournament! It was so much fun to see everyone for the first time in the new year. The tournament featured some nice game play from Daniel, Nicholas, Jonathan, Jen, Hunter, Monica, Anthony, and Matt. Others cheered them on. After the tournament, we went upstairs to play games and win prizes.  It was so much.  

PCC Members and friends met up at the Seaford Cinemas to watch a holiday movie together. The movie selection for this special event was the "Muppet Christmas Carol!" We had fun watching the movie and you could tell that the holiday spirit was in the air. It was a really nice thing to do with our friends during this holiday season!

Jon, Tom, and Cheyleann spread the good word of PCC at the SEPTA Resource Fair in Syosset. This took place at Robbin’s Lane Elementary school, and was the first of its kind in this district. We were very thankful for the opportunity to be part of this event. Our team was able to talk about PCC and its mission. They were also able to interact with  those who had approached our table, answering questions about our various meetups and intiatives.

Oh what a night!!!!  to call our 10th Annual Family Dinner Dance at the Stonebridge Country Club, a great success is truly a huge understatement! Members, friends and families came together to celebrate the individuals that allow us to do what we love to do, YOU!!!!!!  We danced, sang and laughed the evening away.  Big gifts were raffled off and so many selfies were taken. Our Glee and Nassau Voice members  performed for us.

It was an awesome day of exercising, stretching, and fun music and movement with Marisa, instructor and owner of NY FIT 4 ALL. We broke a sweat and had fun in doing so at the Nesting Place in Merrick. We used ribbons, shakers, and tambourines while moving about. Great job to those who attended. Thank you Marisa, you are a terrific instructor!
