Thu, Nov 20: Rotary Club Presentation
Megan Webb and LaDonna Gardner attended the Keyser Rotary Club meeting held at the North Branch Brewing Co., in Keyser. LaDonna shared information about the PSC Alumni Association, highlighting its mission, opportunities for collaborative partnerships, and ways to get involved, including serving as a mentor for the Alumni–Student Mentorship Program.
Wed, Dec 3: Frosty Fest
Held in the Lough Gymnasium, LaDonna Gardner, Megan Webb, and PSC student Danika Conover manned the PSC Alumni Association table featuring alumni information and giveaways. The highlight was the prize wheel. Children could spin the wheel to determine the total pieces of candy they could choose if they correctly answered the holiday trivia question that they drew. Even if they did not have the correct answer, they got to choose one piece of candy. This event was as much fun for LaDonna, Megan, and Danika as it was for the children.

Thu, Dec 11: Hot Cocoa & Cookie Bar Pop-up
On such a bitter cold day, a hot beverage and a place to warm up was an absolute necessity. Fortunately, Hot Cocoa & Cookie Bar Pop-up was a well-timed event that provided just that for the PSC students. To add to the experience, a holiday-themed craft was also ready for the students to sit down, relax, and enjoy. Almost 40 students attended. LaDonna Gardner, Alumni Relations Coordinator, didn’t miss the opportunity to share about and recruit students to the Alumni-Student Mentorship Program.
