Hello all,

I just want to say how excited I am about how things are starting to come together. So far, I have sent emails and posted information about the event on my facebook and flickr page. I have had a fantastic response so far from friends and acquaintances that are interested in helping. I have a lot of things in the works right now and will hopefully have good news for Monday's meeting.
Here is what I am currently working on:
-Securing 1 or more locations to use in Manhattan
-Donation of prints
-Recruiting make-up artists, photographers, anyone willing to help
-Brainstorming on how we are going to recruit families

Keep up the great works guys and gals!

I have the meeting location for the second Help-Portrait meeting for NYC all set, it will be at:

31 Chambers St Room 209
Monday November 23 at 6:00 pm

It's a big government building that has scaffolding around it. You have to go through security so please bring some form of ID and tell security you are there to see Kevin Alano with the Department of Cultural Affairs. Our location is right by the foot of the Brooklyn bridge on the Manhattan side.

The closest train to take is the 4, 5, 6 trains on the Brooklyn Bridge stop going downtown stay at the 2nd or 3rd cars of the front of the train to optimize your exit. The N, R trains are close by too and on that you have to get off the City Hall station walk on Chambers heading towards Brooklyn bridge.

Once you go through security take the stairs on the left and it will be the room to the left.

The number at my desk is 212-513-9355 or my cell 973-220-4500

Hope to see you all there.

Are there any members here that:
- have equipment to facilitate a shoot, but no location
- have a location but no equipment
- have equipment, a location, but just needs support

Kevin Alano has put together a Logistics spreadsheet to help us share info about resources. Here's the link:

The clock is ticking and we want to be able to touch the lives of as many people as our means can support. So let's here from the 48 signed up memmebers of the New York Help Portrait Group

Huge thanks to all those who came out tonight. We were off to a rocky start, but as a group, we turned a potently negative situation into something great! We have some fantastic people working on this project and I know after the energy of tonight's meeting, we are only going to do bigger and better things. Let's keep up the energy!!!

It will host key informaiton and updates. Discussions should be continued on this forum or the google wave. If any discussions is started on facebook its fine. You can respond but lets try not to get too fragmented ok? Direct people back here if possible or to the google wave.
