I Pause to Say Thanks...

Every time I approach PAC’s entryway, I pause…in awe for the opportunity to work in an amazing place with wonderful people, whose mission it is to enhance the quality of life for all area residents.  And what better time than the Thanksgiving holiday to publicly express that gratitude.

During this holiday season, the staff reaffirms its desire to make PAC the place the community cannot imagine living without.  As public servants, our goal is to assess your leisure and recreational needs and wishes, and to accommodate them to the best of our ability. 

To that end, we are asking you to participate in an ALL STAKEHOLDER SURVEY--- NOW through the end of December.  If you receive mail from the Pinedale, Daniel, Boulder and Cora post offices, you will receive a survey postcard in your mailbox.  Upon returning a completed postcard survey to PAC Guest Services, we thank you with a free day pass.  Or, you can take the survey on line and simply print your free day pass. 

The PAC Survey link is:

In gratitude for our amazing community,

Winter has Come!

As the thermometer plummeted, so did the ease of an outside construction project.  Equipment resists running and steel is cold, really cold….  So when the snow started to fall, it came with a sense of hope that the temperature would moderate, and it has.

It is estimated that the first decking (floor) will be poured sometime the week of November 17th.  After the second deck is poured (probably after Thanksgiving), the site will be tented and heated so building progress can continue. The RainStore System that will ensure adequate drainage for the site will be installed imminently as well.

Snow removal will be an added winter construction challenge for HOGAN.  The Pinedale High School parking lot has already been compromised by the construction staging area, and it leaves no room for auxiliary snow piles.  So, snow will be plowed and hauled off.

In addition to construction progress, PAC Staff have generated an all STAKEHOLDER SURVEY that will be unveiled very soon.  The survey will arrive in all the mailboxes of the surrounding communities, including Daniel, Cora, Pinedale, and Boulder, and will be available online.  Our “thank you” for filling out this short survey will be a free day pass to PAC.  By filling out this survey, the community will allow us to serve them better.  PAC belongs to the community, YOU and it is YOUR place.  Help us be the best we can be.  With your input, we are becoming and will remain the place our community cannot imagine living without!  

And very soon we will be launching our 2015 theme of “SHARE THE FUN!”  PAC joins the rest of the business community in celebrating a “Mountain Man Christmas,” beginning Saturday, December 13th.  From the 13th through January 15th, we will offer a 10% discount on PAC Gift Cards.  Not only is this a great gift giving idea for friends and family, it is a wonderful time to invest in yourself… Make this the season to decide to accept the PAC challenge and to “Share the Fun!”

AND THE WEATHER COOPERATES!

These mild, pleasant fall days have been welcomed and appreciated by the Hogan Construction team as they work on the new PAC addition.  These photos will show you the progress being made.
