Volunteerism,
I am going to start out by saying, that i am just in awe of the dedication and commitment to Volunteerism by this Organization, while not all are in the photo, this group of folks give everything they have, to planning and executing events that the PCCA puts on.
This years Eastern Maine Sportsmen's Show was no exception, we had a fantastic show for 2026, and it was only possible because of an all hands on deck attitude,
Just for the weekend of the show, our Volunteers put in nearly 1,500 Volunteer hours, that is 37 full time weeks, in just one weekend, when you think about that, its actually mind boggling, our Archery Team, put in 193 Volunteer hours at the State of Maine Sportsman's Show in Augusta in one weekend, to bring Archery to 100s of Youth and Adults.
This is the level of commitment that goes into every single event that PCCA puts on, including the upcoming Family Funday in June, and PCCA Annual Bangor Gun Show coming in October.
From our Montly Dinner Meetings, to our PCCA events, these Volunteers step up, and get it done, I am proud, and honored to be part of an Organization with so many dedicated individuals that continually give back through Volunteerism.
If you have ever thought about giving some time to an Organization through Volunteerism, please do, I promise you, the feeling of fulfillment will be immediate, being a part of a group that gives back to your community is one of the most rewarding things one can do, so get involved where and when you can, even if its just an hour, never underestimate what that hour could mean to an organization and the community they serve.
To all of our Volunteers at PCCA, and Volunteers serving their community, thank you all so much, your dedication and commitment is inspiring!
Daniel Bell
PCCA President
