The PBGW Bash is right around the corner, and families across our community are getting ready for a night of costumes, treats, and smiles. This annual Halloween event brings together children with special needs and their families for a relaxed and welcoming trick-or-treat experience.

Costumes range from superheroes to classic characters, and kids love posing for photos and showing off their outfits. Parents appreciate that the event is designed with comfort in mind. Lines move quickly, lighting is gentle, and volunteers pay attention to children who may need a little extra space. It creates an environment where families laugh together without stress or pressure. The Bash also supports a great [...]
COVID-19 PAID SICK LEAVE BILL
The US House of Representatives has passed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, and the Senate is likely to pass the bill this week, as President Trump has indicated his intention is to sign the bill into law.

Employers will receive a credit against its portion of the Social Security payroll tax on a quarterly basis. We will update this information when we have [...]
