Costal May 16, 2011 Meeting
Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder that we are meeting in Georgetown at Jeanne's Creations this Monday, May 16 for our May meeting. Hope to see everyone there.
This is going to be a very informative meeting. Steve Roos is going to be talking about making your own gear. Everyone is sure to get some great money-saving techniques. We were talking last night about a couple of things that I have made, one of which is a flash bracket that holds two speedlights next to each other.
We are to have dinner at 5pm at the Mexican restaurant next to Jeanne's place - El Cerro Grande and start the meeting at 6pm and finish at 8pm. Jeanne's studio is at 825 Church St in Georgetown so put it on your calendar and we'll look forward to seeing everyone again.

Costal Meeting April 25th 2011
Hi Everyone....
We have a fantastic meeting on tap for Monday, April 25. The lovely, talented and most of all, resourceful Steve Roos is going to put on a program that will benefit all who come. He will be showing and teaching about HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN GEAR and showing gear he has made or modified to make his studio more efficient and cost effective. This promises to save us all money which everyone can use. Please mark your calendars. We will meet for dinner at a to be determined close-by restaurant at 5pm and start the meeting at 6pm and finish by 8pm....
I'm asking everyone who is planning to come to please bring your own chair because the studio space we are using has no seating available.
Carmen Ash stepped up to the plate and offered us her shooting space in Myrtle Beach for this meeting.. It is at 407 79th Ave North in a strip mall off Porcher Drive close to an Eye Care Place. Turn in by Northwood Chiropractic and this building is the 3rd door on the right. Park out front and walk around back and we'll prop open the door.
Everyone also please bring a cost-saving tip to share with the group.
Also the Midlands and Upstate are, as always, welcome to join us.
Come on out for a fun and informative meeting
Thanks

Midlands Background swap/sale Sunday June 5th, 2011
Thanks to all who came out for the background swap/sale at Shannon Mercer's studio last night.
We all went home with new backgrounds and with our bellies full of good food. Special thanks to Shannon for hosting and for the wonderful tour of his vineyards. We were all wishing we had a place like Shannon's estate!
Since it was such a success and because so many said they couldn't make it to this one, we've decided to do another on
Sunday, June 5th.
It will again be at Shannon Mercer's studio near Lexington from 4-6pm for backgrounds and props, followed from 6pm-7pm for a covered dish dinner.
Hope more can attend and bring backgrounds and props you'd like to swap and/or sell.

We need a host! Apritl 25th Costal Meeting
Hey Everybody,
We have a great Coastal Meeting planned for April 25 but we need a host....We have the incredibly resourceful Steve Roos who has agreed to teach a class on making your own gear and show several things that he has made for his studio. We are also planning to have everyone who comes to the meeting to share a cost savings tip that they have implemented in their studio. This meeting has the potential of saving you a ton of money in your business but we don't have a location to host this meeting. Steve is coming from Hartsville so we don't want him to have to travel too far, but this IS a Coastal Meeting so we agreed the Myrtle Beach area would be a good compromise. We are hoping to get some Midlands people to come also. If anyone has some space available somewhere in the Myrtle Beach area that could host this meeting on the evening of April 25, please let us know.
Thanks...

We are going to start with dinner at 5pm at the Chestnut Grill in Orangeburg. 1455 Chestnut Street. The meeting will be from 6 – 8pm at Anne Westbury’s Studio in Orangeburg at 750 Russell St in Orangeburg.

Costal Meeting Plans for 2011
Here is the schedule of proposed dates for Coastal Meetings this year.
We have some really good meeting topics planned and are going to

generally go with the third Monday with the exceptions of April and
November to avoid Easter and Thanksgiving conflicts. Except for
March, which is pretty much confirmed to be a combined Coastal and
Midlands meeting with Corey Potter teaching Photoshop in Orangeburg at
Anne Westbury's location, we are looking for comments from anyone on
the following dates.
3/21/2011
4/18/2011 or 4/25/2011
5/16/2011
6/20/2011
