2009 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

First order of the business of 2009 is to wish all of you, PWN members and prospective members, a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year and to thank you for electing me your next PWN President.

Let's make this a year of change, growth and further business successes for all members by promoting a personal approach to networking through monthly luncheon meetings, by supporting our members through business referrals and by gaining business knowledge through sharing ideas. This after all is our Mission at PWN.

With that, I ask you to Network...Network...Network! Set goals, plan your strategy, take action, seek every opportunity to meet people, broaden your scope, and thank and respect your contacts. Networking is a necessity in today's business climate, and taking the initiative really does pay off.

Remember, joining PWN gives you the opportunity to showcase your business with a thirty second commercial, a literature table for your sales material, and monthly member display tables including extra commercial time to share the benefits of doing business with you.

We have a yearly EXPO, a trade show style venue to display products and services.

Best of all you can go to our website, placerwomensnetwork.com, to find out what events are upcoming at PWN, use our online credit card payment service to register and pay for your membership, reserve and pay for your monthly lunch choice, receive our E-Blast via emails and, advertise your business online and much more. Check us out today.

It's not all business; we also know how to have fun at our annual Holiday Party. A, fun- filled, Black and White Ball and gift exchange.

So start the New Year with PWN, a golden opportunity to be part of a great networking team. If you're not a member, you may visit us twice as a guest. Just reserve your space and choose your lunch entree. Make your reservations today, don't delay! Members, you can pay your dues, $35, for the year, online or bring a check to the January meeting. Wear the color GOLD for the month of Januarya symbol that your golden egg is waiting and so are friends, business and connections.

Hats off to the outgoing presidents, Anne Sandler and Kari Hagensmith, and to the 2008 Board Members. A great job done by all, and we appreciate their hard work and dedication to PWN.

I am looking forward to meeting you at our next luncheon.

Sincerely,

Rachael R. Spinks / 2009 PWN President
