Many years ago I came up with the concept of doing a PPANE calendar, but not having enough support the idea was passed over. Now with the price of press printing more affordable, the help from our sponsors and a board willing to try NEW things, in 2009 PPANE will unveil our first PPANE calendar.In honor of my presidency, my home state of
Vermont is one of the sponsors of the calendar. The VPP board thought it would be a great way to remember Joel Towart, whom we were benefactors of his tremendous generosity. Joel was a big fan of PPANE and never missed a chance to spend time with his PPANE friends. I can not thank Vermont Professional Photographers enough for supporting me and PPANE in this project!
Our other sponsor is LustreColor. 3 years ago I approached Ken Wilson asking for help with this project. He has done all he can to help make it happen and I am thrilled to have them as a supporter and LustreColor host the voting.Speaking of voting. Did you vote for the cover of the calendar?? The inside images were selected by out of region PPA Affiliated Judges, but the cover choice is up to the members. Please take the time to vote for your favorite image!!

The calendar will run from September 2009 to December 2010. I will have them as I visit each state convention to sell. Can't wait to see what is going to be on the cover! Voting is opening till Friday, Dec 12th at NOON.
