| Judging by the emails and online posts I recieved you all have deemed my calendars to be acceptable as a form of wall art. So, this is your friendly reminder for calendar submissions this year. To give myself some time to work on them I would like to receive any picture submissions for those of you who want to try out for it BEFORE October. I will make exceptions for those of you with good excuses (ie you were deployed) but I can't wait forever. So for all intents and purposes, that leaves you just under 3 months to get some pictures to me. I ask for this early time to allow myself time to work on it, get it to the printer and get it to you all before next year. I know, call me slow but this is not my day job. I am doing this for the members of TT.net and work on it during my free time. Last year I charged $23 each which covered the printing and shipping only. Per the urging of many members they will be $25 even this year to cover some additional expenses I incurred and absorbed during the process last year. I feel really guilty tacking on those $2 but I don't want to have to suck up the extra amount this year. NO money or orders are being requested at this time. Around November I will start taking the orders to see where we stand. Oh ya, if you want your birthday in the calendar make sure you send it to me in a seperate email from the pictures. You don't have to have a pic in the calendar to get your birthday in it. Just put "TT.net birthday" without the quotes in the subject line so it gets to the correct folder. Anyone with a birthday in the current calendar will be in the 2011 one so you don't have to resubmit it. The requirements for submission: 1) The pics must be hi res. 2) The pictures need to be scenic. As in a picture taken in your driveway doesn't count. 3) Be creative. The best pic will get the cover. 4) If you send pics with hot women in them I won't complain. :) 5) Pictures should be sent to my email at Chris.Touponce@comcast.net and put in the subject line "calender" without the quotes. That way it will get routed to the proper folders. The calendars are: 1) Printed on hi glass heavy photo paper 2) Spiral Bound 3) When opened up they are 11x17 Here are a few pics of last years to give out new members an idea of what it looked like.
 
Sorry about the long winded post. I just wanted to give you all a heads up. I will make a reminder post occasionally to keep everyone in the loop. Thanks and happy picture snapping. ChrisZTT
