August Meeting

Hi Everyone!

It has been a while since we have updated the blog so I have some news to share with you along with an update on some changes for our August meeting!

Please welcome with me our new PUG co-leader Elizabeth Meyers of Sweet Life Photography. Elizabeth has been attending the PUG for some time and has taught us lots of great tips and tricks for Lightroom and many other things photography! I am excited to have someone local who knows that area to assist me in leading the PUG! We will soon be making plans for the remaining 208 meetings and releasing a schedule so stay tuned! Some of our ventures include head shots for each other and maybe even some couples to shoot... we are going to have a blast with this one. If you have any ideas, please email millie@millieholloman.com, we want to hear what you want to do!


As for the August meeting, please make note that this will be a special meeting with GUESTS, Michael & Anna Costa joining us on the PUG tour. Be sure to make this meeting and bring a friend. I heard Michael & Anna speak at PartnerCon a couple of years ago and they did a super job. Two sweet people with a great heart and a lot of sense. You don't want to miss this!

The meeting will be at Hi-5 in downtown Raleigh at our faithful old time of 6:30pm... don't miss it!
