Happy Fall everyone! Thank you so much for your continued support and contributions to PPA Charities. We are all looking forward to Imaging USA 2009 in Phoenix, Arizona. As usual, we will kick off the convention with a party and a fabulous auction. This year should prove to be even more amazing with the addition of so many fabulous speakers not to mention the lovely and talented Anne Geddes. We plan to not only auction off VIP seating for this event, but will offer many, many other awesome items for winning.
This year we will also host a Golf Tournament on Saturday morning. This should prove to be a great and relaxing way to gear up for a great show. Please plan on coming out early and joining us for both of these exciting events.
Our relationship with Operation Smile continues to grow each year and they are so appreciative of everything that we have done for their organization. Our Family Portrait Month was a HUGE success again last year and we were able to donate $52,000 to Operation Smile. We know that this will change the lives of many children.
I hope that you are all currently signed up and participating in this year’s Family Portrait Month promotion. Thanks to Ann Monteith, Angela Weedon, and PPA Staff, we now have a wonderful on-line community and resource center for all Family Portrait Month participants. Please log on today and check it out at www.ppacharities.com.
Earlier this year we made some great changes to our PPA Charities board. Harvey Goldstein, a long time PPA Charities board member, has agreed to serve as Vice-President for the 2008 year. I am so excited to continue working with Harvey and look forward to his great ideas and leadership. We also welcomed two new board members, Ann Monteith and Cindy Romaguera. Both of these women bring so much enthusiasm and talent to the board that we know it is going to be another great year!
I am looking forward to autumn and all of the new possibilities that it will bring. I always joke that my life seems to be on fast forward and it is more evident as my children celebrate yet another birthday. I have also spent too much time this year feeling anxious about the economy and my business. However, as my life keeps passing me by, I realize just how lucky I truly am. My children look at me and flash gorgeous toothy smiles and my clients give me shy grins. We are so blessed. Please remember that all children are not this fortunate and we have the power to change this, one smile at a time.
Peace, Love and Joy
Mary Fisk-Taylor
President, PPA Charities
