PCA Monthly Meeting  -  Monday February 7 - 14.00 - 15.00

 

Please join us for our Monthly Meeting on Monday February 7.  We will include some interactive activities to enable us to chat to the newer members of the community.  We are also lucky to welcome Beate Renninger, who will be talking about the Reiss Motivation Profile.  The Reiss Motivation Profile (“RMP”) is a scientifically proven approach to understanding motivation.   According to the RMP there are 16 motives that determine our values, behaviors and influence our personality traits.  It can be helpful to understand your own profile, particularly when considering a career change or transitioning back to the workplace.

The PCA’s Giving Tree is an online event again this year, and all in our community are welcome to contribute.  In collaboration with several local foundations, wishlists with pre-selected items have been set up, making donating this year an easy and pleasurable experience. For those in our community who prefer to contribute to a worthy monetary fund, the Agua Gifting Smiles Appeal is another option. For a complete list of the organizations with further details, including links to the Amazon Wish Lists, click here.  Thank you to all those who have already donated - there are still a few gifts available to purchase such as toys, school shoes, school socks and food.  We hope to be able to fulfil all of the wish lists for our local foundation partners - and show just how generous the AISC community is.
