Dear Women in Pensions Member:
Wow, has time flown since we last met! It's hard to believe our Members-Only Holiday Gathering is almost upon us! It will be held on Wednesday, December 2nd at:
5 Seasons Brewing Company – (404) 225-5911
The Prado, 5600 Roswell Road, Sandy Springs, GA 30342
Our networking event will be from 6:00 p.m. until 8 p.m. Delicious finger foods will be served, and there will be a cash bar. Come join in on the fun and mingling as we enter into the holiday season! If you will, please email Heidi LaMarca at , Tina Morris at or Lynne Knecht at to make a reservation for this event, by Monday, November 30th.
This year, as our holiday outreach event, we are supporting the Children's Restoration Network with a gift for a teenage boy or girl for the Holidays. Between Nov. 27th and Dec. 24th, the Children's Restoration Network run a campaign called "12 Days of Caring". During this time, they solicit gifts for teenagers in their shelters, who are many times overlooked, in favor of the smaller children. They are specifically looking for new items, such as sports equipment for the boys, cosmetics for the girls, and gift cards and electronics for both boys and girls. Any gift item(s) you might be able to bring for this worthwhile charity will be most appreciated. A representative from the charity will come by our Gathering to pick up any donations that we might have for them.
We are still looking for Sponsors of our Holiday Gathering. If you and your company are willing to be a Sponsor, we would love to identify you and your company at the event…we are accepting all denominations, as low as $25…they all add up!
A special thanks to Sara Reineman and Donna Chappell of Principal Financial for an excellent job on securing MoSaiC Restaurant for our October Dinner Meeting! The food and atmosphere were great!
On another note, there are two (2) Board Members whose term expires the end of December, Cathleen Adams - Treasurer, and Lynne Knecht - President. Both Board Members have agreed to remain on the Board for another term, but we are open for nominations, should there be members within the organization who might be interested to participate. Please provide any nominations directly to Lynne Knecht, so that the appropriate balloting form might be prepared for voting at the Holiday Gathering.
Please be sure to complete your 2010 Application, which you will find on our newly-designed website! Go out and take a look…it is much improved with more current information! Many thanks to Susan Petrirena for her diligent work with our new WebMaster Designer!
At this time of Thanksgiving we are about to begin, we wish each of our Members the Safest and Happiest of Holiday Seasons. The Board Members are looking forward to seeing and visiting with each of you at the Holiday Gathering…see you on Dec. 2nd!
As always, please send any job changes, promotions, births, marriages or any other milestones in your life, to Sandra Gilbert at , so that we might make note of them.
Sincerely,
Lynne J. Knecht
