Oh No, It's "Brown Envelope From Rick Meyer" Time Again, 2009 PPAGLA Dues Notices Mailed

Yes, folks, it's that time of year again, when to receive the plain brown package in the mail from Membership Chair Rick Meyer containing your PPAGLA materials for the year to come.

While it's always uncomfortable to ask for money, your dues go to support the PPAGLA and all the programs it offers.  Timely dues payment give us a good indication of what the budget for these programs will be in the coming year.

New this year, annual dues can be paid via PayPal.  Please see the instructions in the package.

Again, asking for some of your hard-earned dollars is always awkward, so when you receive the infamous large brown envelope, please find the smaller white envelope inside stamped with Meyer's return address and mail a check for your annual dues or visit the website and pay via PayPal.  This way neither of us will have to think about the issue for another year.

Thank you for your continued support.

Next PPAGLA Seminar Is Now Being Planned

The next PPAGLA Seminar is in the planning stages. A venue is being looked at as this message is being posted. In the meantime, here's a look back at our New World of Media event at CSU Fullerton last March from Raul Roa's excellent photojournalism blog. I'm glad he had the presence of mind to make some photos that day, many of us didn't. Thanks, Raul!

Please let us know what sessions you would like to see that may have been missing from the last event. We want the seminar to be of maximum benefit to everyone so suggestions for programs are always welcome. If you know of an expert in our field whose expertise would be of value to our membership, please let us know.
