We acknowledge Sheila Chin, past Secretary, and Jill Wecht, past Treasurer, as they step down from the Board. They were tremendously active in all our pursuits. They will be missed. We welcome our two new board members: Mary Ann Brueckner and Andrew Nelson.

In addition to the board members, we thank the following people for lending a hand this winter: Larry Buccarielli, Joyce Gavin, Robby Whitstock, Kate Plotkin, Nicole and Julia Balm, John Guzewich, Chris Chin, Annie Gerard, Ken Carbone, Marika Hahn, Shelly Cohen, Luke & Henry Graney, Bernadette Vero, Kathy Sykes & Liz Weber. A donation of hundreds of spring bulbs from Jan Doornbush of International Bulb Company was secured and planted by Cellen Wolk and Neal Harris of Hey Hoe Garden Design. Ace Hardware, Larry Beckerle and Blauvelt Lions Club donated materials for our lobby renovation.

RAISING THE RAMP!
We are very close to making the installation of a handicap ramp a reality that will make the PCC accessible to all!

A heartfelt thank you to Michael Tersigni for generously donating his time and expertise designing and drafting the plans for the ramp to be placed in the front of the building. Our foremost goal is to retain the historic integrity of the building. Thank you to ADA expert Shelly Cohen for overseeing the plans.
Be a part of this important project!
Donations are needed and volunteers are welcomed to help build it.
