Thought you all may enjoy seeing these again.

We Survived TIPP 2008

2008-04-06T20:48:00.002-04:00

Well, we made it through another TIPP, and what a week it was! Three (count 'em—three) emergency board meetings, one mini-meltdown, one missing Assistant Director, a swing dancing lesson, a mini-course on websites without internet access (which still got great reviews,) a hotel that is going to the dogs (literally) and a banquet that was worthy of a prime time slot on Comedy Central. (wife phone??—Bill kills me!)

All in all, it was a rockin' good week. There were some tense issues that the board had to deal with, but we remained true to our motto of "never let them see you sweat." The students and instructors didn't suspect a thing, and everything ran beautifully. The talent was top notch and the students were happy—a winning combination. The mini-classes rocked and it was great to see the banquet filled to capacity. TIPP is definitely growing!!

A big wooo-hooo to Becky for keeping us all together. She is an amazing woman and I am honored and privileged to be her sidekick. Thanks to the assistants and to the board members who pitched in and helped whenever they were asked, (and often before they were asked.) Bill and Ed did a great job with the photos and equipment and keeping Frank's place warm until next year. Frank was missed, though. Bill looked really lonely up on the Holiday Inn roof.

I am already looking forward to TIPP 2009!!!

2008 TIPP was a blast!

Hello Friends!

2008-02-12T08:14:00.000-05:00

Just wanted to say hello! I'm blogging now!

The meeting was a blast!

It was so good to be with the Triangle family again. I especially enjoyed celebrating Becky's birthday Sunday night with DJ Rick.

And Michael Cerizo is not only a very inspirational speaker/photographer, he's also one heck of a dancer! Good times.

I only wish Cheryl had been there to dance with us. :(

Woohoo!!! Only 2.5 weeks until the winter meeting. I can't wait to see you all again. I just love my Triangle family.

We have some great speakers lined up and I am so excited to hear them! See you soon.

TRIANGLE FRIENDS

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'll bet every one of us can think of at least one familiar face that we missed seeing at the last Triangle event. Here's the challenge: Call, e-mail, or "snail" mail that person...use the name/address directory, and let that someone know they were missed and you look forward to seeing them the last weekened in January.Then, call three other members and remind them of the January convention dates. Hope to see you then!

We are family!

Well, the holidays are over and it is time to get back on track. To help you do that, we have moved our spring meeting to January. It is now known as the "Winter meeting". This is the time to invite a friend to attend this meeting and get to know our Triangle family. They can attend for $50.00. If they like what they see, the $50.00 can be applied to their membership. This is a great deal!!!

I have been involved in Triangle for 10 years and I can honestly say that we have come a long way! I can't tell you how much I enjoy the conventions. You get to see old friends and make new ones as well. There really is a family atmosphere at Triangle. I have been to other conventions and felt like just a face in the crowd, but at Triangle it is different! It's a place where everyone knows your name!(or at least your face).

By the way, you have a Triangle board who is very active in securing the talent line-up that we have at our conventions and meetings. They review the critique sheets that you complete and they work behind the scenes to make sure that each function runs smoothly. We are fortunate to have many past presidents attend our board meetings and they are just as active as our elected members.

If you have a suggestion, let a board members know, or send your suggestion to the Triangle office and I will make sure the board sees it. I look forward to seeing everyone at the end of January.

Just wanted to wish everyone a healthy, prosperous New Year! 2008 promises to be the best year ever for those of us fortunate enough to make a living with a camera in hand.

How can we help you?

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to open a discussion about how we can make Triangle better for our members. This is the place to make suggestions, give constructive criticism, and share ideas about our association. Let us know what you love about Triangle, what can be improved, speakers you would like to see...anything that comes to mind!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Triangle is Back on Track

2006-04-06T10:49:00.000-04:00

I just want to say that this has been a great year. Membership in the association is on the rise and the Triangle Institute was the best we have seen in a long time. Many thanks to the speakers, board members and students who made this all possible. We had a lot of "first timers" at the Institute and they were impressed! The change in date allowed the classes to go on field trips throughout the city. Many of our speakers were impressed with the city of Pittsburgh. We also had time to play, with the first annual ping pong / poker tournament and party. Keep up the good work everyone!

2006-04-06T08:32:00.000-04:00

Just thought I'd get this party started. To echo the sentiments of the recent emails, again congratulations are in order to everyone who helped make this year's Institute one to remember! I don't see how we could have made it any better!
