Our last meeting was a success! I'm very proud of our new officers! Don't forget to bring your framed pictures for the Fall Festival silent auction to our next meeting. We still need people to sign up to work the Fall Festival booth. See Jill for the list. Keep selling those raffle tickets!

Challenge: Find Photography Contests

My challenge to you is to find photography contests. Look for them in the newspaper, magazines and online. Report back to the group what you find. There is prize money to be won! Here is an example: http://www.txfb.org/newsmanager/templates/TexasAg.aspx?articleid=6715&zoneid=128

I hope you're taking lots of pictures this summer. Bring your favorite one(s) to our first meeting in September and we'll talk about them.

Enjoy your summer!
