To make things easier for Don and myself we have decided to clean up our contacts.

Unpaid members need to know that as of the 1st of the year you will be taken off the mailing list. We have so many people on here right now that are not members and it will make things easier for Don and I to keep up with our books.

If you still would like to be on the email list please get a hold of Don Armstrong at donsnatureshots@gmail.com and in subject space put (photo club) or you can call him at 665-4352.

We are looking at a Great year and have a lot planed.
Hope to see all at the January 14th meeting: Bill Smith will be teaching us how to put matboard on the back of our pictures.

Thanks,
