Thanks. That is the main message of this month. Thank you to everyone who made my tenure as president so great! Every time I needed aid people stepped up and did more than their share. This was especially important to me since I live out of town. I must say special thanks go out to Darrell Watts and Yvonne Nelson (our last two illustrious presidents) who made things so much easier for me.
A big thank you also goes to Jim Atkins for doing such a great job on the newsletter and working so hard with the zoo project and to Steve Hike for doing so much work so well for the competitions. There are many other members who also deserve a big pat on the back for all the help they gave me; it is much appreciated.
Now having said that, we need to look forward. Our club is being recognized for its excellence and is being asked to photograph events. We are great! This summer we will probably be asked to help with Special Olympics on July 18th to July 23rd; please aid them if you are able. We need to reserve time to photograph the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk on September 19th too. And ---we have our Wild Wednesdays at the Zoo; Jim Atkins is the person to contact to help with that. I can guarantee a fun time if you attend. And then, there are county and state fairs to keep in mind. You can enter your photographic art and also lend a hand to Yvonne Nelson who is in charge of the photography for both events. One last event I know of is the Sam Mather Memorial Scholarship Photo Contest in Weeping Water in conjunction with Limestone Days. Deadline for entry is Saturday, June 19th, 2010. If you have questions you may call 402-267-5252 in the evenings.
Enjoy the May Salon and have a great summer.
Linda
