Georgette Pascale named “Nominating Chair” of Children’s Museum Board

This afternoon in a board meeting for the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh’s, Georgette Pascale was named their incoming “Nominating Chair.” A three-year member of the board, Pascale’s new responsibilities will require her to seek and nominate new members to the volunteer board.

“For years I have enjoyed my time on the board of the Children’s Museum,” commented Georgette, “searching for new faces and fresh perspectives to add to this already dedicated and energetic group will be as much fun as it is work.”

In addition to her existing position, Georgette has also regularly participated in the planning of the Children’s Museum’s annual gala. This years event, the Burgh Blast, took place on May 7 and was (as advertised) a blast for all who attended! Kudos to Georgette on this accolade!

Our New Website – Coming Soon!

Pascale Communications is excited to unveil our refreshed and redesigned website very soon! Just a short time ago, we enlisted the help of the fantastic web design and development team at MESH Design and Development to help give PC’s site a facelift – and we've made leaps and bounds in making PC’s site look more like home.

While we’ve enjoyed the look and feel (and compliments) of our current website, we are eager to embrace a more flexible infrastructure behind our site. This, along with more integrated social media content, will allow PC to update news and display press featuring our clients and team at any time! Our new site will be better equipped to act as the central portal for us to communicate in a more engaging and direct way, whether print, digital, or even video.

Our team has also had a blast sharing photographs to use on the website; incorporating images of our everyday virtual workplaces was one of our chief tactics in personalizing our new design. Without our unique perspectives and penchant for strong relationships, it would be impossible to deliver PC’s signature mix of incomparable and effective press with a friendly and flexible team.

Thanks again to our friends at MESH for their support and creativity throughout this process – Stay tuned for more updates and the official launch date of PC’s new site!

This week we’d like to formally welcome the newest member of the PC team, Rosemary Valenta!

Members of Pascale Communications had the pleasure of meeting Rosemary in person last week; We had a fantastic time discussing her rich experience and exciting client history as well as her husband and two young children back in NYC.

We are glad to gain yet another savvy PR pro to our team – Welcome, Rosemary!
