PAWS BIRTHDAY BASH!
With the help of PVCC Brand Ambassadors, PAWS celebrated birthday his 31st birthday last month. Over the years PAWS has always brought PVCC events to life and shared his Puma Pride. Because of that, PAWS became an Honorary Member of the PVCC Alumni Association. PAWS received a big box of alumni gifts which included a Puma pin, an alumni decal, an alumni license plate, and an alumni membership card which comes with lots of alumni "perks"!
