Happy Canada Day Sort Of Long Weekend!
We hope many of you got this Monday off as well as tomorrow and are able to enjoy an extra long weekend celebrating the birthday of this wonderful country we all call home!
And if you have to work today... well... so do we... but we've got our maple leaf face paint on anyway! 🙂
Your FBC Newsletter - Please Resubscribe
Check your inboxes for an email from either Ethan or Melissa last week asking you to resubscribe to your FBC Newsletter!
As part of Canada's new Anti-Spam legislation, we had to ask all our members for their express consent before July 1st in order to keep sending you all our monthly newsletter as well as any special edition newsletters that include blogging opportunities.
We urge you all to resubscribe using the link in the email in order to get the benefit of being a Featured FBC Member, the opportunity to participate in our FAM trips, receive invites to special events, and receive highly targeted brand opportunities that only go out to members in specific cities or specific blog genres. These are often some of our best opportunities and we want to be able to send them to everyone who they apply to!
And if you haven't, this is the perfect time to update your FBC Member profile where you can tell us exactly what kind of blogging opportunities you want to receive! (you can also check off the two boxes giving us your consent to send you our newsletters!)
The FBC Flickr Group
It's a small but very active group hanging out in our FBC Food Photography Flickr Group and every week, we choose the Weekly News lead photo from the latest posts in the group. It's a tough decision. So this week we thought we'd feature a few right here. And if you'd like to join in, please do - we love seeing new faces! Just a quick reminder... if you would like us to use your photo on FBC, please make sure you have enabled HTML sharing We see so many great photos that we can't use because the sharing restrictions don't allow us to!
