President's Message

WOW! WHAT A GREAT CONVENTION!

The PPO Board & Trustees came together again & put on one of the finest photography conventions in the country. Everyone that volunteered did a fantastic job. From the Print Room & Print Exhibit, Trade Show, Programming & everything else. Remember that the 2004 & 2005 convention will be in Dayton & PPSO will be the host club. We will need volunteers in all departments. I will have the list very soon. We will have a gift for our waitress at the April meeting. She has served us for over 3 years........I think its about time we reward her.
I'll leave you this month with this saying:
"Nobody Knows It But Me"

"There's a place I travel when I want to roam, and nobody knows it but me. / The roads don't go there and the signs stay home, and nobody knows it but me. / It's far, far away and way, way afar, it's over the moon and the sea/ and wherever you're going that's wherever you are. / And nobody knows it but me."

By Patrick O'Leary

Stay well, God Bless, & I'll see you all soon.
James
