Dear PPSCF Members;

Our PPSCF General meeting this month is on Tuesday July 19, featuring our quarterly Print Education meeting.  Visit the PPSCF website and look at the Events link to see the details.  Bring your work, prepared for judging, and your open mind to this meeting, and you'll learn a lot.

Please RSVP for this meeting no later than this Monday, July 18, if you're not on the standing RSVP list.  RSVP's go to PPSCF's Hospitality Chairperson Mike Gibson.

Standing RSVP list as we have it., Kathleen O’Brien, Edie & Gerald Hardage, Jennifer Fortin, Mike Gibson, Allan Saltman, Chuck Wells, Lara Hart, Jennifer Hoffman, Gary & Heather Ensmenger, Debra Libby, Susan Torregrosa, Dan Clay, Bruce Wilson Jr.

If you can't make it, you'll miss the good food and conversation, door prizes and a splendid opportunity to become better friends, photographers, and business owners.  Please don't miss this meeting.

The cost to attend is $10 per member (in good standing) and $10 for each guest of members.  This is considered a “program fee” and it covers many costs above and beyond the food.  PPSCF covers the reasonable expenses of the judges who help us, as well as rent on our meeting space, projector rentals and other expenses that we photographers are so familiar with.

Please note that there is no People's Choice competition in July, because of Print Competition

I hope to see you there!
Mike Gibson
