Apple switching its focus to the iPad mini? A PPN product review update.
It’s simple, smaller and cheaper is better when you’re multitasking on a 9.7-inch pad and if you need anything smaller you can redirect your energies to working on the iPhone. If you have not looked into an Apple iPad mini or a mini tablet, it is definitely worth your attention.

Envision Youth School Supply Give-A-Way launched by PAOB to help students prepare for the new school year.
The Professional
Association of Businesses (PAOB) launched a campaign to provide free
school supplies to children in need called the Envision
Youth School Supply Give-A-Way.
This event was held at the Norfolk Police Department Training Center. This campaign targeted those parents of children in need that reside and work within the City of Norfolk, Virginia. As kids start back to any school schedule, supplies are needed. Having the school supplies they need helps kids achieve and keeps them focused about learning at school. Not having proper supplies contributes to a number of reasons that prevent our youth from moving forward.
The PAOB along with its lead sponsors that included Councilwoman and PAOB member Angelia Williams and the Sheriff Bob McCabe Foundation were on location among others at this free event that had entertainment, vendors, and served up delicious barbecue.
Also, a very special thanks goes out to all the PAOB members, sponsors, volunteers, that included Councilwoman Angelia Williams, City of Norfolk, Quality Hands & Hearts Home Care, Karen Clements, Ammanuel Gerena, Ahmaude Griffin, Vonda Johnson, The Sheriff Bob McCabe Foundation, Norfolk Police Training Center, Binchmark Marketing & Agency Services, The Decker Law Firm, Graves Funeral Home, addyourevent.com, Congressman & Mrs. Scott Rigell, ClubHorton Entertainment, First Colonial Inn, Philip Michael Fashion For Men, O’Brien & Associates, SALT Concierge Services, LeClair Ryan, The Franklin Johnston Group and others that got involved.

Youth Enrichment Tour launched by PAOB for 5th & 6th graders to encourage education.
The PAOB makes another strong contribution toward leading
change in area communities by targeting the youth through one of its
development programs the PAOB Youth Enrichment Tours. The response from the kids ranged from: “I want to go to
college”, “I want to become an engineer” to “I have to have a career backup if
I'm playing sports”. These were some of the comments from more than twenty
fifth and sixth graders from Richard Bowling Elementary
School in Norfolk , Virginia . These children took part in one of
PAOB's aggressive educational programs targeted toward youth development called
the Youth Enrichment Tour. This tour included youth mentoring and building
communication skills while touring interesting places throughout Virginia that
included the WVEC news studios, Sinclair Communications Radio Stations, RegentUniversity and enjoying lunch at the award-winning, Frankie's Place For RibsRestaurant. The children were driven in style and introduced to memorable
experiences in a fifty-two passenger coach tour bus. Not only did this tour
have an impact on area youth but on the tour guides as well. Support for this
program even came from military students that were scheduled and took the same
university tour as the youth saying they wish they had the same program when
they were growing up.
The children were very appreciative and their ever evolving
excitement was seen from receiving hands on experience that truly inspired us
all. The PAOB would like to thank its sponsors and participants that included;
BINCHMARK Marketing & Agency Services, Act-Up Integrated Youth Services, Richard Bowling Elementary
School, The Norfolk Police Community Resource Officers, Frankie's Place For
Ribs Restaurant, Beverly Zimmerman-Wright (Realtor), Cinema Cafe Theaters,
WVEC, Regent University, and Sinclair Communications Radio Stations.
The Youth Enrichment Tours are a part of PAOB's Educational
Development Programs for better communities. For additional information on the
PAOB, PAOB members, programs, press, and more, please log on to www.societyofmembers.com.
A special thanks goes out to the PAOB members that
participated in this program that included Dr. James Newby, II, Cinema Cafe
Theaters, Stephanie Lambert, Beverly Zimmerman-Wright, Karen Clements, Dr. Sandeep Samudre and Frankie's Place For Ribs. The PAOB and its members are

beyond clients to touch our communities.
