PACSI is indebted to many friends and acquaintances for their contribution in time and funds. In today’s economic market, a greater amount of hard work and dedication is needed in order to move forward with the programs we have set out to develop. The challenges are great, but our dedication and perseverance is forthright and that is the beginning of a successful organization. We hope you will visit us often and support PACSI where it is needed most. However, we could not have come this far without the support of dedicated workers. We have many community friends who work behind the scenes; however, below is a list of our team.
