MONTHLY CONTEST TO BE REGULAR EVENT
~~ Our monthly club meeting will feature an exhibit/contest for those attending the meeting. Each person who attends the meeting is invited to bring three photos to the meeting for the exhibit. As he or she comes into the meeting, pick up a Post-it note, attach it to the photo, put a number on the note, and place it on the exhibit table. During the meeting, each person in attendance will pick up a ballot and vote for their first three choices.
By the end of the meeting, the ballots will be counted, and the first three place winners will be announced. Those three pictures will be featured in the next month’s newsletter. See the back page for February’s contest winners. AND do not be intimidated! This is not a big deal. Its purpose is to share what works with each other. |
