Ok so there was no office bet, but when Scott came in and said he would shave his hair Kyla and I about fell over ourselves getting the clippers ready! Megan was willing to play along with us but was a bit more scared. Due to Scott’s girlfriend hating his long hair so I felt pretty good about not getting in too much trouble for helping to encourge him He is also lucky Kyla shaves her own husbands hair!!!
The best part was I was able to get him to do his best George Costanza pose for us!! haha! This was a great way for the office to start off a Monday after a holiday! Hope you all get a good smile on your face from these pics!! Happy Monday!!

Ten Great Reasons Why You Need To Go To Summer School!
It’s going to be “FUN”…remember the word “FUN”? It’s too often lost in business today, but here’s an opportunity to have some fun and fine tune your photographic, marketing and business skills at the same time!
This is the first program of its kind to pack 14 speakers into just 2 ½ days, so you don’t need to be away from your business for very long. Get there by 7:00 pm on Sunday, August 16 and be headed home after lunch on Wednesday!
It’s a great value – and not only includes a FREE full registration to WPPI 2010 next March, but now, thanks to a special joint program with the Digital Wedding Forum you’ll be able to enroll in a FREE six month membership in DWF! If you’re already in DWF then you know the value – but if you’re not a member, then here’s your opportunity to network with the very best in the industry.
How about picking up on new technologies including mixed media, SEO, tips on social media like Twitter, Facebook and blogging – not to mention techniques on album creation, lighting, marketing and business – and this is just the beginning!
MGM has an amazing rate of $69 per night – share a room with a friend and your cost is down even lower! Plus, there’s a 2 for 1 entrée card good at most of MGM’s restaurants, bars and a $35 activity credit per room per stay for dining or entertainment charged to your room.
Take a look at the line-up for this year’s Summer School – it doesn’t get any better! Bambi Cantrell, Skip Cohen, Tony Corbell, Ron Dawson, Robert Evans, Jim Garner, Jerry Ghionis, Mitche Graf, Matt Hill, Kevin Kubota, Charles and Jennifer Maring, Dane Sanders and Ken Sklute!
A format designed to learn…the room will be set up classroom style so that everyone has a place to sit at a table – NOT a crowded theater style set up. And, there will be charging station in the back of the room. So, if you like to take notes on your laptop, bring it along!
Network, network, network – you’re not alone dealing with the challenges into today’s economy. Here’s a mid-year chance to network with friends and associates and talk about the challenges in today’s market – and building your network helps you fight the “dragons”!
No tough choices on which program to attend! Each program will be presented one at a time. And, the speakers will be available at various intervals for additional discussion at Speaker/Sponsors Corner, just outside the ballroom.
Oh yeah, did we mention “FUN”? Just because the Media keeps telling us it’s going to be a bad year, doesn’t mean it has to be! No matter how tough a year it is, there are opportunities out there and you can’t find them without charging your battery, doing a little networking and staying on top of the latest trends and technologies!
