Like spring, the club is rejuvenating with new ideas and new activities. They include a casino bus trip to Atlantic City, a Phillies game trip, our annual Family Picnic and an appearance in the Pulaski Day Parade in Philadelphia to name a few, with more activities slated for the later part of the year. We also have a brand new line of PACC apparel. Please pay attention to our newsletter and email circulation for all information on the various "happenings" regarding the PACC. I'm also pleased to mention that our club is growing in number with new members. I ask all members to become rejuvenated again in our club through your support and involvement. This is your club. Without your support, there is no PACC. Be proud of our club, be proud of our people and be proud of our heritage. Hope to see you soon and may you all have a wonderful, safe, fun summer...enjoy!!!
