Service Spotlight
For the month of December, we want to give special recognition to Justin, one of our newest volunteers to PCK. As head of one of the teams, he consistently is coaching the kids in his team. He also has been hugely helpful in getting the holiday decorations up, both Halloween, and now Christmas. Additionally he made sure the Flag was properly installed in front of the building, and has been jumping in, working to learn all of the areas.
Justin, PCK appreciates you and the volunteers whom you serve with, so very much!
