We need your help!

Were you at our Field Day event?
Did you take any digital photos?
Are you coming to the club meeting tonight?

If you answered yes to all three questions, please bring your camera or disc to the club meeting tonight so we can copy your photos for our Field Day 2009 Photo Album.

We will also use as many photos as possible as part of our Field Day wrap-up during the 6 Aug club meeting.
