Dear (Contact First Name),
OK, the economy sucks big time. As professional photographers we are looking to the future, thinking- "Where do we go from here?"
Well, I am happy to tell you that now is the time to plant seeds, improve your photographic skills, and learn as much as you can while you have some down time. What better way than getting involved with PPLAC?
After joining the group, I shared my knowledge with other pros. They, in turn, shared their expertise with me-- and before I knew it, I became a better professional photographer. I attended every meeting, not wanting anything to slip by that I could apply to my business. As a PPLAC member, you might just miss that one piece of info that could shoot your business to the top-if you skip even one meeting.
So, get involved: enter photo competitions, share your knowledge, go on photo safaris, attend meetings, become a board member-- whatever it takes. Just do it! The PPLAC Board looks forward to seeing you at every meeting!
Cheers,
Bob Young
PPLAC President
