Events October/November 2024

Monthly Update:

We apologize for the delay with this newsletter. Milton slowed us down. PALS staff is hoping our families did well through the hurricanes.

Numerous events were cancelled due to the hurricanes. We apologize, however, your safety and that of our facilitators is most important.

We are ready for fall. Remember you must register for events/programs. It is the only way we can notify you if there is a change.
