Letter From the President Patti Gribow
|
Dear Friends,
Happy holidays! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with joy and abundance. For the Gribow's, Thanksgiving2013 was a grand celebration of gratitude and hope as we dined with family and friends illuminated by our Hanukkah candles burning brightly.
Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate the festival of lights!
Kudos go to Sheri Davis, Stephanie Bell the Events Committee for once again providing PSWIFT members and guests with an inspiring and informative State of the Industry panel luncheon, "My, How the Industry Has Changed!"
Angela Romeo, lawyer and host/producer of COLLIDING WORLDS TV AND RADIO lead the dynamic panel of women in a most aggressive discussion of the 'new frontier' in our field today. Our thanks go to the panelists Aleks Lyons, Bobbie Eakes and our own Denise DuBarry Hay for their time and talents.
It's time make merry with all on December 19th. I hope you will join us for the PSWIFT Holiday mixer at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse from 5:00-7:00 p.m. Undoubtedly we will share delicious food and good cheer as we toast one another's health and happiness for the coming year. Please see the wonderful opportunity for you and any new members below in this newsletter.
I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas filled with a multitude of blessings and a stocking full of all that you desire. Thank you for your continued support and friendship.
My best,
Patti
