Please return them quickly to give the photographer time to check for flaws in the photo of your choice. Others who still have proofs out, you are running out of time to get them back. Please return them immediately so CVP has the time to check for flaws. Any proofs not returned by Thursday, October 22nd, risk the chance of not being looked over for flaws.
