Holiday cheer for families of special children   
   Not only Christmas, but any time of year, is a wonderful opportunity to bring cheer to families of children with special needs. Make it your goal in 2009 to sign up with Special Kids Photography of America and let your community know that you have a passion for promoting special children to the public.
   New funding is available through a 2009 grant from Pacific Life Foundation to offset expenses in photographing children of families where professional photography causes a stress on the budget.
   Create exhibitions and displays for the general public. Learn how to accomplish this in our information-packed Ambassador Packet.

 

Sign up for SKPA booth at 2009 national conventions
Special Kids Photography of America needs your help to tell photographers about the organization at IUSA and WPPI this year.

                

If you are planning to attend one or both of these conventions, please consider spending time in the SKPA booth to let people know about the benefits of becoming affiliated with or accredited by SKPA. Affiliation benefits everyone—the child, the family, the community and also the photographer!
  
Both of these national organizations have generously provided a booth to Special Kids Photography of America and also attach a limited amount of full-convention registrations for persons who staff the booth.
  
Please contact us to place your name on the schedule. Longer hours are scheduled for the 2009 WPPI convention; therefore, more passes are available. We'll be happy to fill you in on details.   
   If you have ever attended a national imaging convention, you know this is a singular opportunity to hone your photographic skills and renew your finest creative juices. If you have never attended, make this a "must" for your 2009 "To do" list. Contact SKPA to sign up!
