Seattle Live with Passion

Thirteen people gathered in Seattle on Saturday evening for the Live with Passion. The Seattle event kicked off the LWP season a little early due to some scheduling conflicts for the official LWP weekend. We decided to have a sunset walk along Alki beach and then finish off the evening with wine, cheese and yummy desserts. We lucked out as the weather was beautiful and the sunset stunning, and the company fabulous. Thank you for all who took part in the day and in supporting the PVs!

5th Annual Live with Passion is quickly approaching

The 5th Annual Live with Passion is quickly approaching and we need your help!

We had a record number of t-shirt sponsors (18!), but as of today we only have 11 sites that are planning on having a LWP event. We can do better than that!  If you are planning an event and haven't let us know about it, please email us so we can post it on our LWP blog, www.pvlivewithpassion.blogspot.com.

Also, if you are having an event please let us know numbers and sizes of t-shirts at least 1 week prior to your event so we can mail you the t-shirts. We picked them up last weekend and they look great.

Let us know you have any question about hosting a LWP event, we would love to help you plan your event.
