It’s hard to believe it but the last yearly competition is coming soon. This doesn’t mean our activities will be over for the year as we have our Year End Picnic and Year End Winners to announce in June. The picnic is scheduled for June 9th at Tom Pearce Park – time yet to be announced. Stay tuned and mark your calendars. It will be so fun to see everyone in person – outside. Also, please take a quick 30 seconds to vote for 2021-2022 board members.

Education Meeting is Wed. April 21 – 7pm on Zoom
We are having a virtual scavenger hunt and it starts now! (by virtual I just mean we aren’t getting together for the actual scavenger hunt)
Please submit four photographs from the following categories to Dave Church by midnight on Tuesday, April 20th. Title them simply with your name and category number. See below for category numbers. Example: JimIngraham_1, JimIngraham_3, JimIngraham_5 and JimIngraham_6. Dave will put them in the appropriate folder and we will talk through each folder as it comes up. That will keep everyone involved for the entire meeting. Be loose and creative with the categories. Have fun.
Categories
#1. Put a mask on it.
#2. Something that screams ‘SPRING’ (or whispers it quietly)
#3. Motion blur (or the Pam Arbogast special)
#4. Wings (Animal, insect, angel…must I go on?)
#5. Looking up (a quick jaunt down to Stout Grove should do it)
#6. Reflections
#7. Animal (Insects included!) (you’re welcome, Dale George)
#8. The mighty Rogue River
That’s it.
Oh, and did I mention?…have fun.
