The dedication of the membership generates funds which are returned to the community by the allocation process. The Grant committee is charged with assuring the funds granted to organizations coincide with the purpose statement of PCGC. The determination of recipients will be announced at our April meeting. In the spirit of inclusiveness, all members are encouraged to offer written and signed suggestions of organizations beginning in September and until the end of February for consideration of an award.
