Martini Madness 2011 was a smashing success!

Over 250 of the best and brightest in the industry  had a lot of fun, ate like royalty, sipped fabulous martinis and while we were all networking, laughing, and enjoying ourselves, we also were delighted to welcome new members to WIFTA, gave away great door prizes, and  thanks to your generosity collected over $150 for the Women’s Emergency Shelter!

Please see the link to an article on the event  published in the Calgary Beacon in http://voyagerphoto.org/category/just-take-them/!

We are on again for next year, so we hope to see you there!

Cheers and Best Wishes,
