A Note from PPSNYS President, Greg Lewis

June 3, 2011 Letter from President, Greg Lewis Hello PPSNYS!  First, Workshop is just around the corner, July 17-21.  Come join us for a week of education, networking, great instructors and fun at Hobart!  Register now for this great event. PPSNYS is also offering its members another benefit. We are introducing at our Council Meetings a free-for-members educational event. (There will be a nominal fee of $35 for non-members.) The first of these is at the upcoming Council Meeting in Albany. On Monday, July 11th, following the Council Meeting -- at approximately 4pm -- Stephen Sedman of Sedman Photography in Braintree, Massachusetts, will present an informative program on weddings. You won't want to miss this education - just in time for the wedding season.  Please join us by emailing headquarters@ppsnys.comwith your contact information. In other news, the 10th anniversary of 9/11 is a few short months away, and we would like you to be thinking about how and what you will document that day in your neighborhood. This will be a PPSNYS 'member only' event. The officers are working on protocols for image submission at this time; and, as we finalize the details, more information will be coming your way. Another item I'd like to bring up is discounts on studio accessories. I am requesting some member participation on this topic. If interested, please develop a list and email it toheadquarters@ppsnys.com, don't forget to include your name, e-mail and phone. Lastly, PPSNYS will be sending out a newsletter in July. Here is your opportunity to shine on that thought-provoking article you've been putting off for so long! Be thinking about what you like to photograph, that special style you've created, or a favorite lighting set-up. Your colleagues are waiting for your expertise! Please send any news from your neighborhood, including any awards from the local community, participation in a cancer project, the Heart Walk, a children's hospital event, or an inspiring speaker you've heard, recently. We are looking for content, and we know you have it! Please send everything to headquarters@ppsnys.com. All the best for this summer season! Greg Lewis CPP President PPSNYS
