November 2009

Greetings!

The most exciting announcement made at our last luncheon is that we have LAUNCHED our new, extremely professional website that is user friendly, has a phenonmial Photo gallery and soon will have an RSVP and Paypal feature! 

The second most important announcement is our 2010 board has been selected, committed, and ready to start planning events and fun activities for 2010. If you have any ideas email us at [email protected] . Let's stick together and grow!

What a phenomenal learning lunch we had in October. Ronald Marx from Willis (yes, husband of our incoming President) gave us valuable information on how everything changed last year, how it had been brewing for years and was inevitable.  It was like the perfect (bad) storm of many variables coming together to an apex of severe financial burdens on businesses, people, families, governments....it's still happening but he helped us learn the terms to be able to avoid a 'bad' loan or deal. How real estate used to be worth more and how our equity value has been turned upside down. 
 
Our next event is our Holiday Breakfast and with Cheena as chair of the event it should be a festive show on December 11th!  Please start selling raffle tickets to your co- workers, family, and friends. We also encourage you to bring a guest not only to our upcoming Holiday breakfast but to join us next year to double our membership in size.
 
Please look for the Holiday breakfast blasts that mention our Charities that we are supporting this year:
YWCA Battered Women's Shelter
Rachel's House &
Girl Scouts Of San Diego and Imperial Counties.
Look for upcoming wish lists and holiday gift ideas for them. 

We do not have a General Meeting in November but do have a 2010 planning meeting on November 12 11:30 at SDIS, 3636 Camino del Rio North, Suite 100, San Diego CA  92108. Everyone is welcome and your input is important to us!  Please RSVP to myself or Cathi Marx. 
 
Happy Thanksgiving
 
Terri Carver
PWI President
