Perks & Sponsors

HoustonPhotowalks maintains partnerships with some great people who offer Perks and Sponsorships.

A Member Perk is a nice bonus or discount for members. In order to qualify for discounts under the Member Perks program, you must be a registered member of our Meetup group. You can join for free:
