We had a lovely time at Riverfront Park, North Charleston, for today's Poetry Trails. This is the last official PSSC event of the 2025-2026 membership year. The next thing that will happen is the Yearbook will go out to all those members who are at a membership level to receive the print copy, and others will receive the digital copy. Look in your mail boxes in about a month. Thank you for your support this year. It has been a great one and we couldn't have done it without our wonderful members and friends.
