President’s Message

Welcome to December. I know that many of us are scrambling right now to get all of our deliveries made to our clients in time for Christmas.

This rush of business ushers in the new year and now is a great time to make those changes you have been thinking about. Are you happy with your advertising and literature? Are you keeping your rates the same for another year? Have you added anything to your product line? Will you be dealing with clients in the same way or is now a good time for change?

In addition to wrapping up things at the studio for this year I have also been analyzing how things are going in TAPPA. I am very comfortable with the future of TAPPA. We have a very good board stepping into place and ready to lead us.

I want to take this time to sincerely thank the outgoing board members. Thank you very much for your service to TAPPA. We are all better off for your efforts. I also want to welcome onboard the new members. At the December party we will be announcing the new officers for 2017. Please take the time to thank both the outgoing members and the new ones coming onto your board for all the time and attention they are giving to your guild.

It has been my pleasure to serve TAPPA as president for the second time. I am very pleased to be leaving the guild in very very good hands.

I envision great leadership from this group for several years to come.

The Christmas party is December 4th, Sunday at 6:00pm it is 35.00. You must RSVP on the TAPPA web site.

At the Christmas Party this year, we will be offering a gift exchange activity! If you want to participate, please bring a wrapped gift valued at 10$ or less. The activity will be fun, silly and completely

unpredictable so get creative and come with an open mind. Everyone who participates will leave with a gift and we will have lots of laughs!

Need gift ideas? Gag gifts, regifting and homemade items are completely acceptable! Are you a more practical gifter? How about a gift card or something you know any photographer would love to have in their tool box. There are no limits to what can be gifted and I can’t wait to see what gets opened up!

Food Drive This year, it is highly recommended that each person attending the Christmasy Party bring at least one nonperishable food item to be donated to Southern Oak Elementary School’s TAPPA Tribune

needy families. If you need assistance carrying in food items, please email me ahead of time at pratt1ak@gmail.com and I will meet you at your car! Please make sure to check expiration dates before donating items to make sure they are still acceptable quality for consumption. It is important that our association give back to the community and I appreciate any and all effort to participate in this drive to help our students! Have any other items that you would like to donate such as clothing, gifts, toys or toiletry items? Ill take anything you can find it in your heart to donate! Throughout the year, families become homeless, experience unexpected events that put them in need and having items ready to support them through those times is extremely important.

Any other questions can be emailed to me at pratt1ak@gmail.com.

Examples of nonperishable food items: Peanut butter Crackers CÂŞnned fruits Canned vegetables Dried fruits Powdered milk.

Canned meats, such as tuna, salmon, turkey and chicken, are non-perishable foods that are excellent sources of protein.

Canned soup Pasta Oatmeal Rice Most condiments such as ketchup, mustard and soy sauce are non-perishable Bottled water
