The agenda will be coming out soon and will be posted on Heard Around the Dock and sent to recipients of the PI Planning Commission email list. If you’re interested in being added to the mailing list, send an email to JohnSpadaro@PIPlanningCommission.org

The PI Planning Commission was established in 1986 as a public forum to generate frank and open discussion and exploration of comprehensive and important island-community issues and be useful as a sounding board for ideas, plans and expectations of island residents and land users.

AEDWe are pleased to announce the purchase of an AED for the PIA hall. This device has been proven to make the difference in effective CPR with an improved outcome for the patient. This unit is compatible with the PIVFD’s unit so there should be no down-time changing equipment when they arrive on scene. Please take note of its location, mounted on the wall between the storeroom and the bathroom in the main hall. To increase our community’s preparedness in case of a medical emergency, we will be holding a CPR/AED class at the PIA in June if you’re interested, please email PIA.hall.event@gmail.com.

The Greatest Showman

Growing up in the early 1800s, P.T. Barnum displays a natural talent for publicity and promotion, selling lottery tickets by age 12. After trying his hands at various jobs, P.T. turns to show business to indulge his limitless imagination, rising from nothing to create the Barnum & Bailey circus. Featuring catchy musical numbers, exotic performers and daring acrobatic feats, Barnum’s mesmerizing spectacle soon takes the world by storm to become the greatest show on Earth.
