Greetings!
Do you smell it? Come on take a deep breath. Do you smell it? After such a wonderfully rainy winter the flowers are in bloom, trees have new growth, bushes are so colorful. With respect to our friends and colleagues with hay fever (I am so sorry!) that is the smell we have all been waiting for! That also means that spring is here! This is a time for renewal, for starting fresh. After hibernating during winter and after months of Netflicks, pay-per-view movies and pots of homemade soup we now can emerge renewed and with increased vigor. Dust off those walking shoes, grab a friend or two and start your own "walkie - talkie" group. Exercise is always more fun with friends, and the time goes by so much faster. And what a better way to begin spring than our annual fashion show! On April 16th at the Handlery Hotel we will have our very own PWI members and OPT students modeling clothing. Attendees will have the opportunity to network, enjoy a great lunch and see various vendors with merchandise that may inspire a mother's day gift or two or maybe something special just for you! Please check out our website under "calendar of events". There is still time to register! For more information or to register for the event please click here or contact Nancy Ladd our Fashion Show Chairperson at 619-744-6495. For those of you who had a chance to attend our March lunch meetingPatricia Wenskunas Founder and CEO of the nonprofit organization, Crime Survivors, Inc. gave us a riveting account of her own personal experiences and how she triumphantly overcame being a victim to being a survivor. If you are currently in a situation that is fearful or you know someone who has been or is being victimized; her group is there to take your call http://www.crimesurvivors.com(949) 872-7895. Don't forget, our next Board meeting is April 8th at 11:30 at San Diego Insurance Staffing, 3636 Camino Del Rio North, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92108-1722. All members are always welcome to attend but please register so that we have an accurate head count for lunch. Warm regards, Cathi Marx, ALCM, COSS, CHS-V PWI President 2010 |
