Toasting the New Administration - A Message from the President

A Toast to the New Administration

A Message from the President

Dear Progressives,

I wanted to share with everyone the Toast given at the Inauguration 2021 Virtual Parade and Dance Party this week:

"Here we are... January 20, 2021. I know many of you thought this day would never come! And what a gorgeous day it was in DC today - and all went peacefully, so let's include a thanks for that in our toast.

"Let's also toast to our front-line workers, who have been tirelessly devoted to the American people during this pandemic. I'd also like to include a moment of silence in honor of the victims of Covid.

"Now, for the happy part: Toasting to Joe Biden's principles of Decency, Unity, and Competence. 

"Everyone raise your glasses in honor of our new 46th President and our 1st woman Vice President.  

"May they lead our nation with grace and dignity. May they surround themselves with informed advisors. May they listen to all points of view and act in the best interest of the US people. May they bring back respect to the United States in the global arena. May they work tirelessly for racial justice, that is so needed in our country. Finally, may they lead with inclusivity so that all Americans are proud to call them our leaders.

"I am excited about the possibilities that the next four years will bring and I know you all are too. So, raise your glasses and CHEERS to President Biden and Vice President Harris!"

PACG Holiday Party Was A Great Success!  - After Action Report
Friday, December 6th at 5:30 pm

German American Heritage Center
712 W 2nd St, Davenport


Thank you to all of the seventy plus people who attended PACG's Annual Holiday Party. We had a great group of people sharing great conversation and fantastic food provided by Maria Lopez.

We also presented the Dick Fallow Social Justice Endowment Grant to Project Renew, an extremely worthy local organization that Dick would have loved.  We feel very fortunate to be part of such a fine community.

There are lots more photographs of the event on PACG's Facebook page: facebook.com/PACG-holidayimages.

Thanks again to the PACG Holiday Party Committee - especially to Ann McCluskey - for all the hard work!

Join Us for the PACG Annual Holiday Party
Thursday, December 5th at 5:30 pm

German American Heritage Center
712 W. 2nd St., Davenport, IA (map)


PACG Board

Please register now to join us at the German American Heritage Center for a meal and celebration of another year of PACG. This is a free event to thank and celebrate with our supporters. Maria from Cafe Mundo will be catering the main entrees. You may have heard of the amazing tamales Maria has been selling to cover her treatment for her second battle with leukemia. She has agreed to cater our event with her delicious tamales and sides. Both meat and vegetarian options are available.

Please bring a side dish or dessert to share.

Optional Holiday Gift: We are asking for gently used books for the library for Cobblestone residents, either adult or children's books. They do not need to be wrapped. We will collect them in a box to donate to Cobblestone.

We will again present the annual Dick Fallow Social Justice Grant Award to a worthy local recipient.

Please join us again this year for food, fun and festivities.  If you’re one of our many new members this year, come find out how much fun we progressives can have in the holiday season!  

There is parking in the rear of the building or across the alley as well as on 2nd or 3rd Streets - but not on Gaines.

2019 Picnic & Pie Auction - After Action Report

Picnic/Pie Auction a Great Success! - After Action Report
Sunday, September 15th at 12:00 pm

Longview Park 18th Avenue & 17th Street Rock Island, IL.

PACG Board


Despite some early morning rain, sixty-seven people turned out to enjoy picnic food from Fresh Deli and music by Chris Dunn. Nearby playground equipment provided fun for the kids as well.  

There were also several raffle winners, and we were lucky again this year to have Jen Broders, assisted by her husband, Ed, do our famous Pie Auction, which is designed to help fund the many activities of our very active Civil Rights, Environmental, and Health Care Reform Forums. We got to hear short reports from our forum leaders as well as from the Fallow Endowment for Social Justice to keep everybody up-to-date on all the hard work we're doing to forward progressive issues during a time when they are being challenged as never before.  

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the picnic afforded a chance for everybody to just relax and visit with other progressive minded folks!

Thanks to all who were able to join us this year.  It was great to see you again!  Enjoy the rest of this beautiful Fall season, and we hope to see you at our Holiday Party in December.

Sincerely,
The PACG Picnic Committee

Allison Ambrose, Ann McCluskey, Susan Meenan, Margie Meija Caraballo, Caryn Unsicker
