Item #2, 1 set of note card (8 to a box), $12.00
Having such items in "chart" or "column" format will be helpful. Please type all inventory lists.
Make sure that each item contains a price sticker and the photographer's name so proper sales credit can be given.

experiences doing HDR photography at the next Shutterbugs meeting at 6:30 pm at TUAC.
