“PUT A JAB ON THE MENU”

Hi ACS members,

I hope you and your family and friends, are all safe and well.

I’m looking for all DP’s that can help out in capital cities and rural areas, all states and Territories to shoot Project MENU. This is a non-profit initiative from the top tier chefs down to the Bahn Mi makers, to cafes and market holders, to “put a jab on the menu”. To get this country up and out. We want to shoot over the next two weeks. Would love all to help out if you are keen. All formats, all platforms.

Thanks everyone,
Susan Stitt ACS.
