We were business of the month at the Chamber of Commerce Luncheon and had the opportunity to present our travelling museum exhibit that was created by the Adolescent Community and give a brief speech regarding who we are. We were able to make a connection with a potential new member and put ourselves out in front of the community. We now have a board consisting of seven trustees, which is in compliance with our by-laws. We can have up to 11 trustees, so please reach out to board@myPCM.org if you would like information on applying to join the board. |
