 Editor's Note


There was a good turn out for the June meeting to hear Sunny Bickham present information on how to build a successful children's business. I think everyone left with at least one good idea to increase their business.

Our
July meeting will feature the Annual Picnic and Auction - to be held on JULY 11.

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

 ANNUAL PICNIC AND AUCTION

Be sure to mark Monday, July 11 on your calendar. This will be the date for our July monthly meeting because of the Fourth of July Holiday falling on the first Monday. This meeting will also be our Annual Picnic and Photo Equipment Auction. This event will be held at the home of Wes Smith in Xenia. --DIRECTIONS --

PICNIC
The Picnic begins with dinner at 5:30 pm. (plan to arrive around 5:00) with the Auction beginning at around 7:00 pm.

Spouses and family's are welcome. The PPSO will provide meat (hamburgers/hot dogs on the grill) and soft drinks - please bring a covered dish or desert.

Please
RSVP to JoAnn Spangler via phone (937-435-7155) or e-mail with the number attending and the "dish" you plan to provide. RSVP no later than July 7.

AUCTION
Bring those "usable but unused" items from your studio and pick up a couple bucks -
YOU KEEP THE TOTAL SELLING PRICE! This year there will be no "Commission" go to the PPSO. The board decided YOU SHOULD KEEP IT ALL!! You may apply a "Reserve" or "Minimum Price" for your item and if that price is not met, you take the item back home. The auctioneer (Wes) will start the bidding at your stated reserve (if you specify one) and build up from there. If you do not state a reserve, the bidding will start at whatever someone is willing to pay and move up from there. You collect for any items sold from the individual who purchased them; and you pay the seller for any items you successfully bid on - so bring cash or enough checks to pay several sellers for your purchases. The sellers and buyers may agree to any payment terms they wish.

This is a great opportunity to pick up good usable items for a very reasonable price - and to make room in your studio by selling those items you no longer use.
