President Elect Tom Hurlbut and myself presented 195 Certificates of Accomplishment, along with 195 PPANE convention passes to Hallmark Institute of Photography graduates. George Rosa, III, president of the school was incredibly welcoming to us. As George introduced us, his praise of PPANE, stepping up and taking a first step to acknowledge these graduates was commendable. He talked of the importance of the Association and urged students to take advantage of PPANE's generous offer. We were able to share with the students what the associations have done for us, what they can do for themselves and the importance of being member.
We are also very excited to provide almost 90 packets to the New England School of Photography. They graciously agreed to mail their students our convention pass, congratulations letter from our President and applications for the student program.The student program is accepting applications. The volunteers will help set up, help with the committees and help make sure all the members know where all the events are at the new convention location in Nashua, New Hampshire. The students' expenses will be paid for three days and nights through the sponsorships.
8 room slots are available, if anyone wants to apply just download the form from the student page at www.ppane.com and mail to Tom Hurlbut.
