Supporting our Community Partners
The PAC would like to give a shout-out to the community partners who participated in the 4th Annual Mobile Meals Benefit Concert "Music for the Heart and Soul" last Friday. The successful fundraiser earned $5,000 for Mobile Meals of Wenatchee, a nonprofit organization which provides hot, nutritious meals to needy, disabled, elderly and dependent members in our community. Performers included Columbia Chorale, Mariachi Huenachi, Common Bond 5, Wenatchee Apollo Club and Wenatchee Valley Appleaires to name a few. We'd like to acknowledge that some of our very own PAC volunteers performed with the Appleaires. We thank you for volunteering here at the PAC, and thank you for giving your talents for special community events like this.

NOTE: The Appleaires are singing of the National Anthem at the High School Girls and Boys Allstar Basketball games at Wenatchee High School this Saturday, March 17.
