Looking ahead to January . . .
It seems unreal that as we approach the holidays, around the corner will be the
one-year anniversary
of the catastrophic fire
that changed all our lives.
Expect more information coming soon about
January events planned by community groups, including PPCC, who are joining together to
memorialize and reflect on the significance of the fire and to celebrate the community's resilience
-- to take place both on January 7, 2026, and later in the month.
Stay tuned as well for an important update in the days ahead on the results of the
NORC-PPCC Community Survey!
Last but not least . . .
Mark your calendars!
Next PPCC Board meeting
