On October 27th PAC celebrated our volunteers with a Volunteer Recognition Reception. There was food, bubbly, and great conversation! The volunteers even received a gift of red/white tulip bulbs, sponsored by our generous donor Supernus. (This tulip has been associated with Parkinson’s awareness since 1980 when a Dutch horticulturalist who had Parkinson’s disease developed a red and white tulip and named it “Dr. James Parkinson.”) The tulips is a symbol of hope and optimism for the Parkinson’s community worldwide.
Thank you all again!
Our mission creates many exciting Parkinson’s volunteer opportunities. Much of the success of our work depends on volunteers. We are always seeking individuals to assist with events, offer new ideas, serve on committees, and introduce the Parkinson Association of the Carolinas (PAC) to more people in the community.
