 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
From Rich Martin, M.Photog., Cr.
Hello everyone!
We have another great year planned for you at the Guild. We strive to bring you the "Best Speakers in the World" and this year is no exception.
The Guild has become one of the biggest and most respected organizations on the East Coast. Also, you get the biggest bang for your buck!
No other organization offers 9 monthly meetings (3-5 full day meetings), 3 print competitions, 2 additional business-only workshops, and also a planned Phillies Tailgate Party (discounted tickets).
All this for only $200! ($300 Firm)....UNBELIEVABLE!
Also, this year you you can pay your dues in two installments...$110 by Jan 31st and $100 by June 1st ($160 & $150 Firm) with a small additional $10 service fee.
Well, Randy and I are headed to the PPA Imaging USA Convention in New Orleans to scout out speakers for the Guild. I know, tough work, but we'll try to do our best and limit the Hurricanes...HA!
So, tell all your photographer friends about this great organization. Let's make this a banner year at the Guild!
Hope to see you there!
-Rich Martin, M.Photg., Cr.
