CHANGES ON THE WEB SITE!

The new website is up and running! To briefly review, we had a problem with our "former" web partner not renewing the domain name for the site, allowing it to expire and thus not allow access to the site. Calls to the "company" resulted in no return calls and emails sent were not returned. It forced us to make some changes in our web site and its location, which were completed Sunday morning.

The new site is www.richardsoukupphotography.com Any promotional material out there is in the proces of being changed if it links to the old site. If you as a customer ahve any of those materials, they should be discarded. We will work at getting your replacements ASAP! We are working to make those changes, and there are plenty of things that need to reflect the change!!!

The email address has not changed!!!! It is still rtsphoto@verizon.net.

Our sincere thanks to Shawn Lesky of Lesky Computer Everything and www.duboislive.com, our new internet partner. Shawn took a lot of time on a Saturday to make this possible and cut our down time immensly. You should check out their sites at www.duboislive.com and www.lesky.org.

We are also looking at a major overhaul of the site after the first of the year. Our goals are to:

• make the site the most informative site of any photographer in the area.
• make the experience of dealing with our business even better and easier
• have the site keep you up to date with hapenings at Richard Soukup Photography
• make the web site, our blog site details later in this email) and our My Space page work together to help our customers and potential customers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

We ahve also set up a blog independent of the site and My Space! It won't take the place of either one, but it will contain items and news you may not see ont he web site. Thsi newsletter is up there, as well as other items to view. You can reach it at www.richardsoukup.blogspot.com. Visit, read, comment and enjoy!!!

We are also working on IM capability. Once we set that up, you'll hear it from us!

The concert that our friend Jerry Schickling does each Christmas season has been set!

From Jerry's update:
"Saturday December 20 will be my annual Christmas concert at the CAST
Theatre in Clearfield. Once again this year we'll be collecting
non-perishable food items for the Clearfield/Curwensville Ministerium
Food Bank.
Bring some items to donate to the food bank and we'll give you a
ticket to win some cool stuff. I'll have the autographed mid-size
guitar to give away again this year (it's been a BIG hit in the past),
as well as other items. Show time is 8:00 PM, the ticket price is
$6.00/person, and I'm donating ALL of the ticket money to the CAST
Theatre to help them through some challenging times.
You can call CAST at (814)765-4474 for advance tickets."

This is an event worth going to! My wife and I have attended for several years and we've enjoyed it every year. Call the number, reserve the tickets, attend, bring some food..you will enjoy!!!
