To make this happen, we need your help. The volunteer opportunities can be found in the online Signup Genius found by following this link. We ask that you sign up for several. We also ask that you share the link to this website with your friends, neighbors, mahjong group, poker buddies, hiking club, golf group, everyone. Hosting PACEM is hard work and it takes a community to make it work.
