Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Phyllis, I was expecting you to be there because you always helped in the past events... so I was wondering where you were. You were missed, if that means anything.
Thanks George! Means a lot to know we were missed. Things are hectic with my daughter's cheer team headed to the national competition in a few weeks. Between that and and my shooting schedule I've been tied up more weekends than not these days. Good to know you are all carrying on the tradition!
@phyl - anytime!!! Dr. Mac and (becky?) were asking about you! Also RichT. anyways they wanted to extend their greetings! It's too bad you weren't there as I am positive your nikon and (more importantly) photo skills would have been far better for this thread!
@terri - thanks! but more importantly thank you for the constant help with that badge machine!!!!
@lps1212 - great to hear! I figured i'd take as many pics as possible to help document the event. Supposedly TFH has taken two pics from this thread for publication!
Acan lighting. funny story -this dude comes to the front where I'm sitting with Curt/George/Terri and says "what's the password for the wireless"? I do a double take and ask hey do you recognize me? After the initial shock...the inside scoop is that we lived on campus together almost 20 years ago. What a crazy small world.

Finally - i don't recall where this vendor was - so apologies for the late post - there were SOO many vendors.
I actually had to leave early so i missed all the raffle goodness.
My day ended with a trip all the way up north to Ft. Lee, NJ for a bday party. Family thing. I was tired - but it was nice to see this:
which after we ate - was still this:
Of course honestly if I could have done it - I would have preferred staying til the end to partake in the raffles and also any last minute clearance sales.
Hope you guys all enjoyed the pics! No more to post to this thread.
