A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE FOLLOWING SPONSORS OF DONATED TICKETS FOR EVENTS HELD IN MARCH AND APRIL.
We tend to receive tickets at the last minute. We are making a list of names and numbers and need to know your interest in attending the following events: cultural, sporting, theater, kids shows so we can call you as we receive these tickets.

Complimentary tickets
Remember, we receive complimentary tickets for events after this is posted. Keep in touch with us, and let us know about upcoming events you want to attend.

SOCIAL ACTIVITY DIRECTOR WANTED: This volunteer position will be a person who is very social and enjoys bringing people together, and encourages others to come out and participate. You will help plan, coordinate, confirm attendance and assist with soliciting tickets and admission to sporting and cultural events. Good phone skills required. Have fun while helping others have a social life again. Call the center to find your new purpose in life.

Educational Lectures and Social Activity Guidelines
(Cancellation and Reservation Policy)

All social activities and educational lectures are available to Positive Connections members, and guests (family, significant other and friends).

•     Priority goes to the members first when there is a social activity that has limited number of complimentary tickets available.

•     We might ask that your guest pay their own admission, unless there is space available, we will admit them too.

•     Both programs require a reservation.  You must call in your name and phone number to hold a spot for you. We will then call you a couple of days prior to the activity to confirm your attendance.

•     Once your reservation has been made and you can not attend,  you must call and cancel at least 24 hours prior to the event, so others on the waiting list can participate. This will ensure that those on stand by can attend, and that we can properly order catering for the educational lectures.

•     If you do not show up or cancel prior to the event, you will loose priority for other upcoming events for 2 months and will be placed on automatic stand by.

•     These guidelines will be enforced so that we may eliminate the no shows so others may enjoy all the services and programs Positive Connections has to offer. Please respect what we are trying to do, so we may be able to continue offering you social and educational support though our Center. Thanks for your cooperation and consideration of others.
