This month's Snapz theme is a big deal

For the December Snapz feature let’s wrap up what has been a year of economic challenges by looking back at the positives, rather than the negatives.

What was the most noteworthy event for you or your family? Graduation ... marriage ... birth of a child ... meeting a weight-loss goal? You name it. Whatever it was, send us a picture that shows “I did just fine in 2009.”

The feature, titled “Big Deal,” will be published Dec. 6.

E-mail large jpeg files to society@vindy.com or mail your pictures to: Snapz, The Vindicator, P.O. Box 780, Youngstown, OH 44501.

Be sure to include the names and hometowns of everyone in the photo.

The deadline is Dec. 2.
