The January Meeting will be held on a special date this year - January 10. As you all know, Monday evening, January 8, will be dominated by the BCS National Championship Football Game with OHIO STATE vs Florida. Therefore, we will hold our January meeting on Wednesday, January 10. Our featured speaker will be Robert Hughes, and you certainly do not want to miss his presentation!

Be sure to go to Upcoming Events and check out the complete line-up of speakers and meeting dates for 2007. There is another great slate of speakers and workshops planned.

CHECK OUT EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS!!!! Many may not be aware of PPSO's extensive library of educational materials which are available to check out as a benefit of membership. Go to the new PPSO Library Page and "check out" (pun intended) the tapes, CD's and DVD's available.
You may check them out at the regular monthly meeting and return them at the next meeting. Keep checking back as new materials are added several times a year.

The "Members Page" has been updated to provide the opportunity for you to include an image with your studio name. This is where the public goes when they click on the "Find a Photographer" link from our Home Page. Also, you may now place four of your images in a "mini-gallery" linked to your studio name.This feature has been added for several studios. Go check them out. If you wish to add your image(s) to your listing, size your images to no larger than 4x5 at 72 dpi .jpg's and attach them to an e-mail to me. Be sure to identify which image you wish placed on the listing page.
