Great PACE Ideas

[LAblondeGPhi]

Hi ladies,

I was thinking about this today as my husband was teaching me how to properly stain treat/wax/care for a pair of my leather shoes, and I was thinking "Why didn't I learn how to do this stuff earlier? Like from my parents, or even in college?"

I remember maybe one or two PACE activities from my college days, but most of the time we generally thought they were only moderately interesting or relevant. The most memorable and useful PACE was with a self defense expert who taught us some basic movements in case we were ever attacked. He then ended the presentation with a pitch to purchase pepper spray, which many of us bought, and which I think was actually a pretty significant benefit of that particular workshop.

Anyway, I feel like PACE programming has so much potential, but like many plans, aren't utilized to its full effect. We never had a PACE on car maintenance, how to change a tire, financial literacy, resume writing, mock job interviews, etc.

So... what were the best PACE meetings you attended (collegiate or alumnae)? What chapters really shine in their programming? Should we make the PACE Chair position a more desirable/important one?
