PACA has two annual membership activities.  The Annual Membership Meeting is usually held in the spring at a local historic venue.  At the meeting, annual business matters are conducted, such as the election of new members to the Board of Directors, presentation of the annual budget, a review of the past year’s activities, votes on changes to the constitution or bylaws, and other business as required by law.  Generally, the Heritage Awards are also presented at this time.

In the fall, the Annual Membership and Volunteer Recognition Party is held at the Salvage Warehouse.  This is the time when PACA volunteers are saluted and members are thanked for their commitment and support.  Food and beverages are provided by PACA and a good time is had by all!

The 2010 PACA Annual Membership Meeting will be held April 18 at Edison Middle School, at 306 West Green Street, Champaign.  A short business meeting, including the election of three directors and the presentation of the annual budget, will begin at 2 pm followed by the presentation of the 2010 Heritage Awards.  Refreshments are provided.  The meeting is open to all PACA members and the general public.

PACA members and friends joined together for an afternoon of camaraderie and to honor all our wonderful volunteers on October 18, 2009.  A special volunteer salute was given to Betty Swisher, who has spent hours organizing, pricing, and creatively displaying PACA’s salvage.  Thanks go to Becky Duffield for her great organizational skills and to the following for donations to the festivities:  Chevy’s Fresh Mex, Cameron’s Catering, County Market, and Hickory River BBQ.

The Annual PACA Membership Party was held on Sunday, October 19th at the Salvage Warehouse on Washington Street.  Members enjoyed catering by Bombay Indian Grill and Chevys Fresh Mex restaurants and a dessert buffet from corporate member Radio Maria.

This year’s membership party was held on October 7, 2007 at the Salvage Warehouse.  It was cool enough for a bonfire.

This year’s party was held on October 10, 2004 at the Salvage Warehouse.

Another celebration of the past year’s activities.
