• PR updates - check the Photographer list. We need to make sure we get everything! We need to make sure all events are covered. Share our photos with Elizabeth and with journalism using Box.Net (Doug and Mallorie)
• Remember to take a photo of your name before you take your photos. If we cannot tell who took the photos, you will not get credit. All camera cards need to be placed on Elizabeth's computer to be cleared off, and all cameras need to go back into the cabinet. Check battery power and charge as needed.
