So beautiful! Our booth at ImagingUSA in Nashville (space donated by Professional Photographers of America) was a knock out! Simply Canvas made it possible for Special Kids Photography to really shine! We add our thanks to the many photographers who contributed their images to the 5 ft. wide display panels. These display-friendly units are so lightweight that they can be tucked under one arm. McKenna pro donated our info cards and Marathon Press donated cards containing information about our webinars. We thank F. J. Westcott for starting off the year with much-needed cash and also a product donation amounting to $500. We gained promise of additional support from other merchants at the tradeshow. What a great beginning for a productive 2010.
