Our December meeting will start with our traditional pot-luck dinner and gift exchange. The holiday celebration will be followed by the presentation and judging.

Rules for the Gift Exchange:
1. Bring a small print of one of your photographs (no need to be fancy, a simple print will do)
2. Put it into an unmarked envelope (8×10 or smaller would be more convenient). Please mark your name on the back of the image, if you wish the receiver to know.
3. Hand it to the President
4. Once all images are in a bag, pick randomly one (hopefully you won’t choose your own image)
