MPISCC Family Reunion Recap by Natalie Wong

Hot off the heels of MPISCC’s Board installation this summer, our community was invited to reunite once again on Sunday, Aug. 15 at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes.

With safety as a priority, guests were asked to show proof of vaccination or take an on-site COVID test provided by Vivera Pharmaceuticals and Pala Diagnostics.

At registration, attendees then checked themselves in quickly using Expo Pass technology and were instructed to put a colored sticker on their badges indicating their comfort level with social distancing.
