Way to go Melanie!! She just joined Gene Ho Photography as the Atlanta Territory Sales Manager. Please see her personal message below. For more information, please contact Melanie at melanie@geneho.com

Hi friends and family. I have some exciting news. I have taken on a new job working with Gene Ho Photography as the Atlanta Territory Sales Manager. Many of you know I met Gene when looking for my wedding photographer and since then, he has done many of my friend's weddings and even shot the Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders photos a few times. I have been referring him for several years now way before this opportunity presented itself because I think he is amazing at capturing memories, portraits and more in photography and videography.
With all that said, I would really appreciate it if you and your friends would keep us in mind when looking for a photographer and/or videographer for weddings and other events or business needs. Also, please email your friends, family, coworkers, anyone to spread the word. I really appreciate you helping me network and get the word out. Gene and his team of photographers' work speaks for itself so check out his site at http://www.geneho.com/ if interested.
Note - Gene Ho has locations in Atlanta, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Reno, Wilmington and Savannah. His team will also travel pretty much anywhere for weddings, especially in the Southeast.
From Alum, Paige Grutadaurio
Alum, Paige has a great special for Nova lashes that are individual lashes. For the Alumni, the special reduced cost is $125 and $50 for touch ups. I have the lashes and have been wearing them for over 4 months and LOVE them because I wake up and don’t have to wear mascara! They are perfect to wear for a special event, vacation or just for fun. Okay, I sound like an infomercial. Her link is luxurylashloungebypaige.com and you can contact her for more information and appointments at luxurylashlounge@bellsouth.net. You can check out http://www.novalash.com/ for frequently asked questions about the lashes. Paige also trains other aestheticians about the Nova lash process and even trained my aestheticians at my spa. Thanks Paige for the great deal!
From Alum, Lisa Sisson Rackley
Congratulations to Lisa and her husband Derek for their upcoming charity event to better lives! They are looking for volunteers to help with their event. You may contact Lisa at lisa.rackley@yahoo.com for more details. Please see Lisa’s personal note below for more information.
The golf tournament is Monday, June 9th at the Legends at Chateau Elan and is scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m. I will need volunteers to help out before then at the registration table, etc. Also, I will mainly need volunteers to sit outside on the course helping with various contests we will have. I'm thinking from about 12:30 to 6:00. The silent auction and live auctions are going to be the night before at our Pre-Tournament event party at Ray's on the River!!! We are really excited about this location, as you know they have terrific food! It's going to be Sunday, June 8th in the afternoon/evening sometime. We don't have an exact time yet! I will also need some volunteers at this event because of the auctions and various things that will be going on. If you can volunteer on Sunday or Monday, you and a guest are invited to come to Ray's on the River and bring a guest for free. We will have dinner, drinks, music, auctions, and much more! Again, let me say that any time you can help out will be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
Just a reminder to everyone....last year we raised $55,000.00 to give to our two charities!!! $10,000 went to the R.A.C.K. Foundation for the two college scholarships for a male and female of Derek's high school in MN and $45,000 went to the Fragile Kids Foundation.
