Greetings!
Happy En Foco Day!

We decided to send this e-News out a little earlier than usual, in case you want to meet us at our Happy Hour later today, or... if you're a photographer so you can submit to our new Call for Entries, or... take advantage of the March 1st opportunities listed below.

Tonight you'll find us at our informal networking/photo sharing/Happy Hour at La Palapa Restaurant (East Village) from 5-7pm. The owners, Margaritte & Barbara, even named a drink in our honor: Margarita de En Foco!

Those of you heading over to Philly next week for SPE, please stop by our table (P5) to say hello. Much thought and caring has gone into the conference theme, Facing Diversity: Leveling the Playing Field in the Photographic Arts, and we'd love to share it with you.

Warm Regards,
Miriam, Marisol, Dee, Klára, Daniel & Olga
