First, I would like to thank Bob Young for his 2 incredible years of leadership, and also for the hard work he and the 2013 board put in to make 2013 a great year for PPLAC.  Without them, this group does not happen.  2014 will be an exciting year, as we launched our new logo, and then started the year with our roaring 20's open house where we awarded our 2013 Photographers of the year, and installed our 2014 Board.
 
We have a great year planned for you, and we start the year off with our first DPC competition of the year and the march to 2014 Photographers of the year competition.  We also have some great speakers and topics coming up, including OnOne Software, time lapse photography, painting in Photoshop and maybe even a few more surprises.  It's going to be a great year for PPLAC.  We have some trips planned, like the Death Valley trip that filled up within the first day announced.
 
So welcome aboard and enjoy the PPLAC ride into 2014, and if you have not renewed your membership, you best hurry up as our first competition is only a few short weeks away, and you are not going to want to miss a single meeting this year!!!!
