PACS in 2013
PLEASE BE WARNED! This is a super-duper-early-inside-peek at what we're eying for next year----some of these things are still ideas, not official plans yet. Not all of them are likely to come true. Oh, and this is also dependent on the Mayan Apocalypse failing to come true ;) OK, seriously, here are the possibilities for 2013: Ramp up use of the PACS COW Mobile Food Pantry This is probably the closest thing to a sure-thing plan of the ones mentioned here, as it's already underway.
