June 2010

Greetings!

What a better way to kick off summer than being a part of the IBA of San Diego's I-DAY! On May 11, 2010 several PWI members arrived at 7:00 a.m. to Hotel Circle's Town and Country Convention Center, sleepy eyed but determined. Thanks to some strong coffee; Carmen Hagblom, Carol Murray, Teresa Harrison and Sarah Bennett created an eye catching booth that really showcased PWI. The theme was "Gold Medal of Success". Our booth was filled with gold stars and gold candy, and we created posters for all the organizations we support. This year we invested in small sewing kits with our logo as give-a-ways and they too were a big hit.
 
We had excellent interest in our booth and I know that I personally handed out several PWI applications. Thank you to our booth "sitters" Cheena Malicki, Renee Bear and her daughter Savannah, Teresa Harrison, Helen Nelson, Carmen Hagblom and Carol Murray.
 
Our very own Terri Carver spent her time mingling and schmoozing to increase interest in our golf tournament August 13th.  She also assisted the IBA in registering and facilitating the CE course held that morning. Thank you Terri!

Thank you to our raffle prize donors! Kathy Vanderslice at Barney & Barney donated the Padres Tickets; and Aspen Risk Management Group donated the Roy's gift certificate and the plant.
 
Congratulations to our I-DAY raffle prize winners!

Carol Murray won the member raffle: A gift Certificate to Roy's Restaurant
Sandra Smith @ Alvarado Pacific Insurance - Padres Tickets
Frank O'Byrne @ Snapp & Associates - Plant
