​

What are the responsibilities of becoming a member of our PACC?

​

1)  Just as the "Sports Boosters" support athletic teams, the Day Dreams PACC will support Day Dreams as we work on achieving          our goals and mission. 

Each quarter Day Dreams publishes our "Wishlist"  It is shared in our electronic newsletter and on this website.  It includes items as simple as "donating a bag of candy for our Halloween Party" to as complex as "Volunteering to help serve our banquet style supper at the Halloween Party".  We realize Parents and Caregivers of people with disabilities are very busy people, but that is the beauty of the PACC.   The larger our PACC, the less there is for each of us to do and the bigger our accomplishments.  We ask each of our PACC members to help us out each quarter with at least one item on the wishlist.

​

2)  The PACC will designate 2 of their membership to represent them as members of our Board of Directors. 

This will assure that the people Day Dreams serves have a real voice in what we create.

​

3)  PACC members will help us spread the word!

The best way to share information about a good thing is still word of mouth.  We ask PACC members to share the word about            what Day Dreams is doing, and encouraging other parents and caregivers to join our PACC.  Anyone interested in futhering our          cause may join our PACC.  Remember, the bigger our PACC, the more we accomplish and the less each individual has to do.

​

4)  We ask each PACC member to do the best they can to attend the PACC meetings

PACC meetings will be held once every two months, beginning in November of 2018.  All meetings will be family friendly, we KNOW

you are busy!  Most of us are parents and caregivers too!  Meetings will be held in a family friendly place like the bowling alley in Ithaca, Youth for Christ gym, or conference room at the Highland Blush.  Day Dreams will provide a light supper for you and your family and our Board of Directors and other volunteers will oversee your children and disabled loved ones for the approximate 1/2 hour you will meet to learn about what happened at the previous month's Day Dreams board meeting and consider signing up for something on the wishlist.  The rest of the evening belongs to you and your family.  Enjoy the family time and the friendship and emotional support of other PACC members while you are there!  The PACC may also consider an online option for people to attend.
