Spring is in the air and everything is fresh and new!   PWN is no exception.  This month we'd like you to meet our newest Board members.  They'll take the reigns on June 1.  Also, we're introducing a new feature that puts the spotlight on our new members.  Extend your hand and welcome them aboard!  Yet another new feature will be the addition of member events to our newsletter.  If you're doing something special that other members could attend, let us know.  Look for our first member event, offered by Dr. Cheryl Woodson, on the right panel.

New Faces on PWN's 2009-2010 Board of Directors
The votes are in and appointments have been made so it's off and running on a new PWN year.  Watch for these new faces as they're ready to hit the ground running with new ideas.  They'll be looking for your input, too.  If you'd like to join any of our Board members on their journey by volunteering to work on their projects, let them know.

Here's your 2009 - 2010 Board:
But Before We Begin the New Year....

On behalf of the Board of Directors and all PWN members, a big "Thank You" to the following for contributing their time and energy to making PWN what it is today: 
"Thank you for the helping hand
taking care of things, and making plans
when good help was in demand."

You work hard to spread the word about PWN and now its time for you to benefit.  We are pleased to announce that we’re extending our “Bring a Friend to Lunch” program.  Now, every time you bring a guest to a luncheon, you’ll receive $5 in “PWN Bucks” which you can use towards a future luncheon.  So be sure to let PWN Central know your guest’s name when you register so you can receive proper credit. 

 

"PWN Bucks" May Be Waiting for You!

When you attend a PWN event, be sure to check the PWN Bucks book.  You may have earned credit for a good deed you performed, like inviting a guest to one of our luncheons.
