Greetings and Salutations Tidewater,
With Casey Scalf at Storybook Studios as host, a very helpful VA Reel program wrapped up with Carly Fogelman’s presentation on "Take the Mystery Out of the Squares." It's safe to say that Instagram is less a mystery today for some of us than it was. She also discussed writing effective bios, captions and hash tagging, that can be utilized on Facebook as well. Her program was well received by all who attended and I'm sure much of what she shared will be employed going forward. Our thanks go to Mary Fisk-Taylor for assembling such an outstanding cast of characters for 2019. Coming up next is our summer social on Sunday, 28 July at Taphouse Live Entertainment, 931 W 21st St, Norfolk, VA 23517. We'll begin at 4 p.m. when they open. When we leave will depend on what's on your Monday calendar. The Uber App is available for those who are inclined to indulgently imbibe. Next up is the Summer Seminar. Registration is open. If you've not installed the Wild Apricot App on your phone, please do so. It will make registering for events easier for you and your governor, not that that matters. We have a block of rooms to fill at the hotel so make your reservations soon. Also, prep the next round of images for our informal image critique. Upload them to printcompetition.com just like the real deal for our 2020 Convention. For our new members, this will be a dress rehearsal on the process. You'll have to create a free account with printcompetition.com to
participate. We're doing prizes this year so tweak those images for judging. You’ll find more info on that on-line at vppa.org. For planning purposes, we are inviting Craig Shaffer to present in September. More details to follow. This will be a must attend meeting because we'll also elect officers for 2020 during this meeting. Lauren Cyr has tossed her name in the hat for the Lt. Governor position. If you are interested or have names vetted for consideration, forward them to me and I'll compile them all and forward them to the Tidewater District membership.
Your Governor, Steven Radcliffe steve@slrimagery.com www.slrimagery.com 757-409-0371
