For The Soldiers

Our soldiers work hard everyday at their jobs of protecting and serving.

We would like to be able to give just a little back by sending them tokens of appreciated from home as well as some much needed relaxation from their day to day tasks...so they can be refreshed and get back to doing what they have commited their lives to do!

Over the next few weeks, PWC will be collecting donations of DVD's, magazines, books, etc. for our service men and women overseas. Please bring your items with you to the meetings :)

Grant Funds at Work [Yes You Canvas]

In December PWC had the opportunity to award over $6,000 in grants to our members. This is possible through the consistency and dedication of PWC Members that participate in our 50/50 raffle, Spotlight Speakers, Silent Auction and various other fund raisers through out the year.

It is our pleasure to be able to support such a dynamic group of talented professionals and be able to give back to the businesses and individuals that make PWC what it is.

This year we are taking this opportunity one step further to highlight the grant winners and show how they are putting their grants to work! If you are a 2010 grant winner, submit your story to us so we can share :)

First up, is David Durrett with Yes You Canvas!

We were all so ecstatic to see this billboard and love how many emails and comments we received from locals who saw the ad and the support the community has given to David and his creative talent and commitment to bring out the artist in all of us!

But what is even better is how David worked with a local Chamber business in the process. He had wanted to do a billboard for some time and had spoken Bethany from The Daily Billboard about doing one as soon and the budget became available.






Well, it came not only in time for the Holidays but David's billboard debuted on the weekend of a Jaguars football game! What a great example of working with local businesses to grow our business together- Way to go David!
