PPGCS Newsletter: November, 2005

November Meeting

At the November 17th meeting, the board plans on presenting highlights of the changes that will take place starting in January, 2006. The board, along with a special committee, has been put together to make Bylaw changes and set standards for 2006. One of the items to change next year will be the annual dues for all members. PPGCS has not raised its annual membership cost for 17 years, but has been able to provide quality speakers during this time. Our changes are to ensure we keep the highest photographic standards as guild members.

If you are interested in serving as a board member,
please contact Tom Henn. We are now accepting names for board positions.

Quotable Quotes

The person born with a talent they are meant to use
will find their greatest happiness in using it.

                                        - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Work for the fun of it, and the money will arrive some day.

                 - Ronnie Milsap

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose,
for this thing that we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.

              - Mary Pickford
