November 2023 & December 2023
Monthly Update:
 
Thanksgiving is a time of year where many gather with loved ones, new and old acquaintances. It’s a time we reflect on the things that we are most grateful for and convey gratitude. 
On behalf of PALS, we would like to say ‘thank you’ for allowing us to be a part of your lives and share community social programs and sports with you and your child. 

Your children have made huge impacts on many facilitators lives and we are all grateful for the opportunities.

We would also like to take a moment to ‘thank’ our generous donators. Without you nothing we do would be possible. 
November and part of December is filled with many fun events.

Don’t forget to register for the Holiday Festival at University High School on Saturday. December 09. 2023. There will be over 30 organizations there for you to meet and greet, along with games, music and fun for all ages. Don’t miss PALS largest family event of the year.

Empower PALS on Tuesday, November 28. 2023, for Giving Tuesday. PALS only receives funding from donations-fundraisers and grants. Help us continue to do what we do. Any and every donation, small or large helps make a difference and we are grateful. https://pals-ucfcard.org/donations-2/

We will be closed December 20. 2023 until January 3, 2024. Our next big event is the 31st Statewide Annual CARD Conference, January 12-14. 2024, at the Florida Hotel and Conference Center. Ticket price increases on December 22.2023. Right now, family tickets for all 3 days are $84.50. What a great holiday gift. After the 22nd they go to $100. Get them now. Save the cash! www.cardconference.info
