Students will have breakfast with their host families before being dropped off at the Cathedral for the Second General Session. Following the Second General Session, students will have lunch and workshops at one of the two

Your Help Is Needed for the State Charity! In keeping with the state conference theme, PASC is joining with the Keep it Campaign to act locally and reach globally. Each school is requested to make monetary donations to locally assist those affected by the September floods along
the Susquehanna River and its tributaries and to globally support the library of Ivory Park, South Africa. The first deadline for contributions is February 29, which is quickly approaching. We are not close to our goal yet and need
your support. Please visit the conference website, www. pasc2012.org for State Charity information. PASC offers a special thanks to South Western HS for making the largest donation thus far.
