On Sunday, October 18th, 85 cyclists participated in the PIC 50km Pre-HOM Fun Ride. The course started and ended at PIC with a loop encircling part of the island. Racers climbed to the Airport up Isa Drive past the Botanical Gardens and down to Kingfisher Golf Links and back, followed by a speedy downhill from Capitol Hill to Sadog Tasi. At the bottom of the hill, the course veered north to Aqua Resort for the turnaround. Then, it was a straight shot back to PIC on Chalan Pale Arnold Road, a right turn at the American Memorial Park Tennis Courts and south down Beach Road back to PIC.

PIC's Palooza party was a sold out success on Saturday night. The event sold over 200 tickets prior to Friday with a few more ticket sales made last minute at the door. The two charities, PAWS and Beautify CNMI will receive all the proceeds from the event. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported these two organizations.
Some partygoers dressed up as their favorite 80's rocker or as a Ghostbuster!
PIC Palooza celebrated hair and fashion of the 80's along with the "Big Hair" contest. Here, two ladies assist their customer with a can of hairspray and much teasing.
One of the memorable pop groups of the 80's was DEVO. Who can forget the song (1 hit wonder), "Whip It!"
DON"T MISS the PIC Palooza on Saturday, August 29th from 7:30pm~. This year's fund-raising party will benefit both PAWS and Beautify CNMI! Last year, the theme was 70's... this year, it's the 80's. So, wear your favorite costume and dress like a rockstar (Michael Jackson, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran, etc.), a TV star (Dynasty, Mork & Mindy, Miami Vice, Family Ties, Cosby Show, Remington Steele, The A Team, etc.) or just don a pair or leg warmers with the shoulder baring sweat top (Flashdance)!
The $25 admission includes food, drinks (wine, beer, soda), raffle prizes, dancing and guaranteed FUN! If you're interested in joining THE party, tickets are available at PIC's Concierge: 237-5170.
