Speed-friending is officially fun!


PCC is proud to host official Speed-friending game nights!  

This structured game provides the support participants need to comfortably foster social connections and make lasting friends. It's a lively, pressure free, way for people to meet and get to know others. 

We are so excited to share our lives, likes, stories and interests with all our new friends!

PCC News Update

Our most recent Speed Friending event in Merrick was another HUGE success! Participants came to our event as strangers and left as friends. Everyone took their time asking each other questions about their likes, dislikes and overall interests. Individuals found out that they had a lot in common with one another. It was a fun night of friendship! We'd like to thank The REAL Transition Partners and PB Academy for giving us the means to be able to have Speed events.

Our PCC members visited the Suffolk County Farm for an afternoon of fall fun.  Members had the opportunity to feed goats, pick pumpkins and go on a wagon ride. At one point, we all worked as a team to get ourselves out of the corn maze.  When the beautiful sunset hit, we sat around a bonfire and made s'mores.  It was a fun-filled fall meetup!
 

Halloween may have recently passed, although the ghosts and creepy vibes were still going on at the Haunted House of Hamburgers. PCC members and some friends were there to witness some spooky scenery and some terrifyingly terrific eats at his cool restaurant. PCC had over thirty-five people dining together in this fun atmosphere, with werewolf howls and erie sounds happening as we chatted and gobbled down our yummy dishes.  What a fun and interesting place.

We think it's safe to say that one of PCC's favorite holidays is HALLOWEEN!  Our Halloween party at the Ronkonkoma Fire House was a creepy, spooky good time! Everyone came decked out in some of the best Halloween costumes to date.  Our member Anthony won our costume contest, dressing up as Barbie! Everyone's monster mashed the night away.  Party goers sure were Creepy and kooky and all together ooky!
