PCEF's New home announcement and an invitation!

Dear Friends of the Phoenixville Community Education Foundation:


It’s time to celebrate a new beginning for PCEF!

Effective July 1, PCEF’s new home (both office and Board room) is located at 120 Main Street, on the second floor of the Phoenixville Federal Bank and Trust. Many thanks to Mr. Kunsch for his generosity! I would also like to recognize Chuck Benz and the main street bank staff for being so welcoming during our move, and Chris Caba of the Party Center, who donated a Ryder Truck and provided three strong young men to assist in transporting all the office furniture.

In moving forward, I will certainly miss the camaraderie that came with having an office in the Phoenixville Area Middle School, but the good working relationship with the administration, teachers, and support staff district wide will continue unimpeded. On behalf of the PCEF Board of Trustees, many thanks to all the wonderful people of our community who made our efforts to support education in the Phoenixville area possible, successful, and so much fun!

Let’s keep the momentum guys and gals. The PASD and PCEF are completely separate, so our Mission can be served with greater flexibility. We can be confident moving forward that we have the support of very good people—the best of the best. That’s a proven fact!

To launch our new beginning, let’s come together en masse at the beautiful Phoenixville Foundry on September 25. Bob Tomasso of the Foundry and Bob Ryan of Robert Ryan Catering have given us a great opportunity through cost reduction—making it affordable for a Little Foundation with Big Potential. Please start spreading the word, and contact me at your earliest convenience to reserve seating. Our goal is to have YOU in attendance—dining, dancing, and having a fabulous evening with friends, family, and co-workers.

Please feel free to stop by our new office home anytime (private entrance off Hall Street; just ring the bell).

Thanks a bunch ~ and see you in September J

Nan

Dearest Nan. You say pcef and pasd are separate. Yet, your job is funded by pasd tax dollars.

So the tax payer assumes all risk?

Will pcef cough up their financials since the taxpayer kinda wants to know what you're doing with our money. Seem anything Noyse touched turns up smelly??????

Nan. Where is your email address? Trying to avoid any public discussions regarding pcef's aversion to transparency?
