| Greetings!
Hello September!
Wow where did the summer go? I don't know about you but when the sun finally appeared I was stunned, and almost not ready. However it was out just in time for our awesome golf tournament. Our amazing sponsors and participants once again made it possible for us to brighten the lives of women and children in San Diego. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and we are always grateful for the support we receive in return. Our golf committee did an incredible job and as always it was a day of fun, food and friendship.
It's now back to school and back to work. Suitcases go back in storage, sun block is back under the bathroom cabinet. Bathing suits and towels are washed and put away, and souvenirs are put on shelves. Travel bags are replaced by book bags and briefcases. Brochures about our vacation "get a way" is replaced by insurance magazines and loss runs. Client lunches and bag lunches replace fast food and alfresco dining in far away places.
But don't get sad yet! PWI is having its very first Speed Networking Event! On September 30th from 5:30 to 7:30 at Fifty Seven Degrees Wine Emporium; 1735 Hancock Street, San Diego, CA 92101. Thank you Imperial Credit Union for being our sponsor for our very first networking event ever! Click here for more information.
We still have two more scheduled events...our October luncheon and our Holiday party. Please see our calendar of events for more details.
Now get back to your desk and stop daydreaming of vacations. Summer will be here again soon enough. In the meantime PWI is here to bring you support, friendship, laughter and many opportunities to make our community a better place to live.
See you September 30th at Fifty Seven Degrees Wine Emporium!

This nonpreachy food blog is full of ideas you'll want to steal, like the Recipe Door and the Summer-in-the-winter birthday party.
This dad knows how to whip up some serious pancakes in every shape and color.
For Travel Help:
What this site lacks in design it makes up for in content. Think (free) printable bingo cards and scavenger hunts for long car rides.
For Entertainment- Kids
Choose the face shape, eyes, ears, hair etc.
Head over tot he Interactive Toys category, then check out 5 sec doodle, where kids have to draw in a hurry, and Build Yer Own, which allows you to create a custome online kaleidoscope.
YouKnowForKidsBlog.Blogspot.comUnlike the sites above this one doesn't offer immediate gratification for the kiddies. Instead thie father of two offers his favorite off-the-beaten-path recommendations for books, music, movies, toys and games.
For Entertainment - Yours
Proclaiming itself "The strongest visual birth control on the market", this blog showcases everyday destruction courtesy of kids. (Check out the eyebrows entry from July 1st)
Self-explanatory.
