September meeting is September 21 at 7:00 PM

This is a long post, as there is a lot going on. Please look over all of the information below.

---

Our theme for the night will be “Great photos of what we did this past summer.”

Please email 3-4 photos to the webmaster of your best summer photos as soon as you can. webmaster@fontenelleforestphotoclub.org

And, see below about bringing prints of Anything Green for the next Bellevue Library display.

Election of Officers

We are still looking for a President and Vice President. The new President and Vice President will have complete support of the Ex, as well as the support of the board members.

EX-President Phil will no longer be acting as the de-facto president. He will continue as Webmaster.

Annual Dues are due

Annual dues will remain at $12 for an individual, and $20 for a family. Members must also be current members of Fontenelle Forest.

Sign up for treats for the upcoming year

A sign up sheet will be circulated at the meeting. Dick and Patrick Keefe, and Kathleen are covering the September meeting.

Two More Great Reasons to attend the September meeting

Prize Drawing for the September meeting

Phil, your Ex-EX-President, is donating a handmade cutting board as a prize. These are nice! Tickets will be handed out to members who pay their club dues the night of the September meeting.

AND….

see the our New photo gallery, currently featuring raptor photos. There were a lot of raptor photos submitted, so if you don’t see yours on display right now, it will be rotated with the current photos.

The new raptor display looks GREAT! Please congratulate the members on the great photos they submitted. We have enough that we can exchange them in a couple of months.

Can’t remember if I mentioned that we received a nice thank you from the forest for our club donation to the Raptor Team.
