This announcement comes with HUGE anticipation on my part. Y’all know how much I enjoy being the JAX SMUG Leader. I could not be more pleased with the growth of our group over the last several months. We have built a solid foundation and I continue to see incredible things happening within this community!
As mentioned in last months Speed Dating meeting, I had intentions of orchestrating a grand summer celebration for JAX SMUG and fortunately for me (and y’all) the awesome team at SmugMug has given me their stamp of approval and I have forged ahead with a huge surprise for not only JAX SMUG but all of our surrounding cities. So…all Smuggers are invited to join us!
Clear your calendars now for Friday July 2nd for a mini SMUGapalooza!!! We will begin our regular monthly meeting with a print competition. I encourage EVERYONE to enter the print competition! This is not only a way to improve your skill but also a safe and anonymous way to encourage your colleagues on techniques they have mastered and areas where they could stand to improve. The constructive critiques from your professional colleagues will be private. This is a priceless way to learn how people view your work and again a small way in which SMUG shows how much they care about helping their members grow and develop.
And now for the most exciting announcement that I could make…I will introduce to you my personal favorite band…The Corbitt Brothers! Born and raised in Jacksonville Florida but coming to you from their current home in Nashville Tennessee. I am over the moon excited for all of you SMUG’s to be blown away by these incredibly talented fellas! Don’t let the casual clothes and long hair fool ya. These guys are the sheer definition of PURE, RAW talent!!! Get ready to be blown away, to raise your glasses and to get up and dance!!! You have NEVER imagined falling in love with the sounds of a harmonica rocked by Isaac Corbitt. I give you my personal guarantee that you will drive home thanking yourself for attending. And then when you see them on TV you can say, “Hey! I heard them play at Florida SMUGapalooza!!!” It is truly my privilege to introduce you to the fierce talent of The Corbitt Brothers. You will be talking about them for many SMUG meetings to come! ;-)
So, clear your calendar now. Kick off your Independence day weekend with a bang at Florida SMUGapalooza!!! Be sure to register at JAX SMUG for complete details. See you there!!!
