Upcoming Event September 9, 2019, 6pm
Our September club meeting will be at the library on Monday, September 9th at 6 pm. The first Monday, Sept 2nd, is Labor Day, thus the one week postponement. We are asking that between now & then you grab your DSLR and shoot some flowers, as it’s peak time in N MI. Anything that ventures near your flower subject (butterflies, bees, hummingbirds…) can be captured too! If you’d like to have your images presented at the meeting (recommended!), please send them via email to John Doskoch beforehand.
