MEETING JULY 11th @ 6:00 PM

Hi Everyone,

I hope you had a great July 4th and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow at the PUG meeting.
This week we will be opening up the discussion floor to all of you, the Pictage members. This is your opportunity to pick the brains of the group for questions regarding Pictage services and products, business, venues, client relations, contracts, advertising, and anything else you have had on your mind and want to discuss with the group.

Also, many of you suggested that we have a lawyer come in to consult with us. In doing so, I will need questions and concerns you have that you would like addressed in order to facilitate having this speaker. Please send me your questions as soon as possible so I can work on having a lawyer at one of our next meetings.

As always, it is important to keep the energy high at meetings by bringing drinks, snacks and food to share with everyone so if you can, please pick something up on your way over.

The meeting is tomorrow Wednesday July 11th at 6:00 PM at Jason Groupp's studio.
Chelsea Arts Building
526 West 26th Street, Sutie #305
NY. NY 10001
Directions: Take C, E train to 23rd street.

Please RSVP on the PUG website if you have not already done so.

Stay cool and see you tomorrow.

Great MAY Meeting!

What a fantastic meeting last night!
Thank you to Brian Friedman from "B-Freed" and Roberto Falck for being our Spotlights and for sharing their amazing work and business model. You are both quite talented and it was refreshing to many of us to see your work and learn from you. As Roberto said, educating yourself by learning from others will bring you further to your goal.

Our group is growing and always inspiring!

See you all for our next meeting Wednesday June 6th-Location TBD.

All the best,
Shari Silk

OH WHAT A NIGHT!

You all rock!
What a fantastic Holiday Party. It was so much fun to end the year with all of you. It is amazing that we have all met sometime over the course of this year and yet it seems like we have been friends for so long. We can not tell you enough how much our PUG group means to us and it is quite phenomenal to see all the new relationships that have formed. We see PUG members businesses evolving because of the collaboration we have in our group-how cool is that?

On another note, Josh and I are just completely awed by the generosity of everyone and the gifts you presented us with for the upcoming arrival of Baby Silk. The car seat and high chair will definitely be a fixture in our daily routine. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!

Our January meeting will be canceled but we will start the New Year with a bang for our first meeting of the year on Wednesday February 7th. There are many new exciting speakers and great agenda topics in the pipeline so mark your calendars for the first Wednesday of every month and we will connect with all of you again in 2007!

Happy Holidays.

Best,
Shari Silk
