There is a distinct kind of magic in the moments we share together, and that magic came vibrantly to life on a warm summer afternoon at PCC’s Wine & Cheese Art Auction. The easy joy of sharing fine wine and artisanal cheese blended seamlessly with the anticipation of the art auction and raffle.

If you checked the weather forecast for July 1st, you probably expected to melt! It was a record-breaking scorcher, but the PCC crew stayed cool under the lush, leafy shade of the Maple Pavilion at Belmont Lake Park in Babylon. With our own private patch of park, charcoal grills, picnic tables, and a cool indoor building to duck into, we had the perfect setup.

Santa traded in his sleigh for sunshine and made a special stop at Mills Hall in St. James for PCC's Santa's Summer Bash Dance Party—and it was snow much fun!

PCC braved the rainy weather and walked most of the Norman J. Levy Park and Preserve before the wind and rain picked up. The Jones Beach bay may have been angry, and the goats may have been in hiding, but none of that stopped us from getting our steps in. 

Lions and tigers and bears...OH MY!  A day was had at the Bronx Zoo.  We saw everything from zebras and giraffes to rhinos and Komodo dragons.  We could believe our eyes seeing such majestic animals and reptiles before our eyes.  We also had the opportunity to go into the butterfly garden and hang out with the butterflies and parrots. Members had so much fun. This meetup is definitely a core memory for PCC. 

PCC wrapped up April in full jungle mode, and let’s just say… things got a little wild. Mill Hall at St. James Episcopal Church transformed into a vibrant jungle escape as the PCC pack showed up ready to move, groove, and howl at the moon.

Members of PCC's GLEE and Nassau Voice initiatives took center court for the second year in a row to sing the National Anthem for the LI Island Nets!!!  Mother Nature got in our way the first time, but luckily the second time around there were no snowflakes in sight!  Our singers sang beautifully and with enthusiasm.  All of their hard work and practicing really paid off and added such a special touch to the evening.  A HUGE PCC shoutout to our leaders that practiced and guided our members to

PCC went to Hicks Nurseries annual flower show, and was it a sight to see!!!!  The whole nursery transformed into a sea of beautiful flower displays based off of some of our favorite childhood games.  Hungry, Hungry Hippo, Candyland, and Life (and so many more!) came to life with some of the most colorful exotic flowers.  We enjoyed walking around and taking it all in.  We even participated in a scavenger hunt! It was a beautiful way to celebrate the start of spring! 

PCC members recently gathered at Fox Dog Yoga Studio in East Islip for one of our most adorable meetups yet—Puppy Yoga. The studio started out warm, calm, and serene as everyone rolled out their mats and prepared for class. But once the puppies arrived, the energy in the room changed instantly.

Our Level Up Dance was not just a party — it was a full-on boss battle of FUN.

More than 80 people came ready to play, and from the minute you walked in, it felt like stepping straight into an arcade. Video game décor everywhere, pixel tattoos, gaming tees— the vibes were unmatched. You could tell people were excited before the music even started.
