Director Bennett was "on the road" yesterday and spoke with the Rotary Club of Aiken for their Veterans Day Celebration. A recap of PBS '25 was provided to the group and recollections of the week were shared while recognizing the American Legion and all Veterans in attendance. The PBS Staff is hard at work planning PBS '26! Time flies when you're havin' fun! Big thanks to the Rotary Club of Aiken and Keyatta Priester for the photos and the invitation!

Who doesn’t love a Fourth of July parade? We especially love the New Zion parade, where these PBS / PGS citizens and even a counselor were able to participate and led the parade goers in the Pledge of Allegiance and honoring Veterans in attendance!
