A HUGE thank you goes out to Jerry for taking notes for me tonight! Thanks Jerry, I really appreciate it!
Judd opened the meeting tonight and had a special surprise for all with a big screen TV for viewing everyone's photos from Facebook. I know he had been wanting to do this as our photos just aren't being done justice on the other screen we have. Thanks go out to Judd for this; what an improvement to show off our work!
There were 9 members present and one guest, Janelle, John's daughter in law. Welcome Janelle, we hope to see you come back. (I wonder if there is a rivalry going on there; Janelle shoots with a Canon!)
The group shared memories of the trip to The Glory Hole, particularly Judd's sudden acceleration toward the hole itself! He scared us but all turned out well!
Next we had Show & Tell with John, Jerry, Anne, Katie and Judd participating. One of Katie's photos also won a 4th place ribbon at the DPC contest; congratulations Katie! A good job done by all.
