DECEMBER 2024
TOPIC OF THE MONTH
The Kids Helping Kids Holiday Gift Drive kicked off 11/18 and goes through 12/18. Early donations would be appreciated; they will go directly to the SHARE Center as they have families shopping as early as 12/2. We have 2 boxes set up in the lobby, one for new and unused items, unless otherwise stated. The Sign-up Genius is linked here. The other box is for new or gently used kids’ coats. Everything donated stays in our community and goes directly to local families in need.
PAC SHOUT OUT!
Diana is our Communications Chair; she is responsible for our website and all of our amazing posts and reels on Facebook and Instagram. She also creates many of our flyers and other media we use to get our messages and events out to you. Diana has been a part of our PAC for 8 years, initially serving as the Hospitality Coordinator. When she's not dedicating her time to PAC, you'll often find her on the soccer field, either watching her 5th & 7th grade kids play or passionately supporting the Portland Thorns. Diana also enjoys baking and gardening in any free time she might have.
