Message from the President
DON'T FORGET TO VOTE - YOUR VOICE MATTERS
We are desperately hoping to get this out to everyone before election day to encourage everyone to get out and VOTE!!!! This may be the most significant election during our lifetime. Although I won't stand down on who I want and pray to be the next President of the United States - let's just say "Go Obama" - we encourage you no matter what side of the isle you sit - take a stand and vote.
As a matter of fact PSP will be joining several other groups and organizations on election night at the Kyoto Grand Hotel & Gardens to watch this historic occasion. We invite you to join us as well. We also want to thank Rachel Ferguson, Director of Catering at the hotel for helping us to make it all come together. Visit www.KyotoGrandHotel.com (Below in our calendar section you can learn more on how you can participate)!
We've had a lot going on since the last Newsletter...we've had some new people come and go. First we want to thank Joanna Scott for helping PSP to go a little higher...although you weren't with us long, your presence will be felt for a long time...I guess you were a perfect example of how some enter our life for either a Reason, Season or a Lifetime...I also have to welcome the newest member to the PSP family, my daughter, Courtney Gladney. She graduated from Spelman College Class of 2006. Upon her graduation she moved to New York and worked for BMW Corporate. She will be holding down our Media Relations, Branding & Communications... Welcome Courtney!
In closing out this message, we want to thank ALL of our clients for having us serve you this year. We appreciate your business and for you helping us to STAY in business! We don't take you for granted - Thank you! From our house to yours, we wish everyone all God's blessings as we enter into the holiday season and if your schedule permits we invite you to stop by the PSP Office located at 639 Eldora Road, Pasadena, CA 91104 on Saturday, December 13th beginning @ 4:00pm to celebrate the holidays!
"Don't get DISTRACTED from what is the main ATTRACTION in your life...stay focused...more now than ever!"
Have an Eventful day!
Blessings,
Wendy
