Do Good...Together...Together

Dear Center Community,

One of our survey respondent’s said it best when asked what three

things set the Center apart. The answer: “Community,

Community, Community!” It’s true isn’t it? The Center community

is a unique, caring, home away from home. Much good has been

done both big and small because of our community.

This Fall, we’ll be sharing more of the good things you may not

always see, and the good you can be a part of with your family and

workout community. We will also provide more opportunities for

you, your family, and our community to Do Good...Together.

Thanks for Being Part of the Center!

Center Executive DirectorAnthony Mejia

“Community,

Community, Community!”

“Eighteen years ago I joined

PCC because they off ered tennis clinics

AND childcare! I hadn’t lived here very long

and didn’t have many friends in the area. The

tennis community at PCC has become a mainstay

in my life. The friendships I have made over the

years are lifelong and I truly treasure the

uniqueness of each and everyone that

has been cultivated from this group!”

Do Good...TogetherBeautiful Day Join us this October for Beautiful Day, a chance for our

community to give back to our City by supporting schools in

Redwood City. This year’s projects will be at Roosevelt

Elementary and Kennedy Middle School. Last year tennis brought

a group of their young players to work on a project together. We

challenge you to do the same whether it’s your spin class,

masters community or friends you hang out with on the deck.

And, because most of us don’t want to miss a day of being fi t why

not build that in by a run, swim or bike before or after the event?

WHAT?Serve Local Elementary Schools

Cleaning, classroom upgrades,

landscaping (we are partnering

with principal and teachers and

principal to meet specifi c needs)

WHEN?October 17

WHO?You and your friends and workout

community! This is the

perfect way for your family to serve

with another family and have fun!

HOW?Invite family and friends (anyone

is welcome). Sign up online to be

on same team. Details coming in

September...

Kennedy Christmas ProjectIn 2005 some middle school students began delivering gifts to

Kennedy families in need. This small act of generosity has grown into a

partnership between PCC and the Kennedy Family Center.

PCC brings a Christmas “store” to pre-identifi ed families to “shop” for

clothes and items they’ve indicated as needs. Volunteers

purchase these items in advance, label them for the families and bring

them to the store. When families come, they pick up their items and

wrap the gifts together with our PCC community. Child care is provided

for children with games so parents can “shop”. After families wrap gifts,

and share refreshments they load up their car with help from volunteers.

This is a unique opportunity to give love, share and connect with real

people in a tough spot.

“My entire family has volunteered

with Kennedy Christmas and we

look forward to helping each year.

We enjoy meeting people from our

community and from PCC, and it’s

a great way to give back.

Kennedy Christmas helps frame

the Christms season as something

more than just a time to think

about ourselves and our

immediate families, and gives us

an opportunity to show love to

Redwood City families.” -Jenn Wong, Center member,

mom of three young boys.
