The forecast is calling for rain all weekend. And since the field trip is to Bombay Hook, we’re going to postpone the field trip until next weekend (31st/1st). Please contact myself or Dolphy Glendinning if you have any questions.

Highlights include a Beauty Presentation by Chip Bulgin Tomorrow Night at B-CCC.

Reminder next Wednesday night is table top night. Bring your camera, lights, and stuff to photograph on a table (e.g. flowers, glass, ceramics, still life, etc.). It’s a lot of fun and a great chance to learn and teach.

Happy Reading.

Where:
Mike Thomas & Dawn Grannas House
905 Wagner Farm Ct.
Millersville, MD 21108

Food:
We will have sodas and cider, cheese and crackers, horderves,
and some cupcakes. Bring a dish to share. BYOB.

Gift Exchange:
Also bring a gift for the exchange under $20.00. Everyone who brings a gift draws a number. The person who draws #1 then picks a gift, opens it, and shows it to the rest of the company. Then, in ascending numerical order, the participants choose to either pick and unwrap a new gift from the gift pile or “steal” a previously unwrapped gift. If a gift is “stolen”, the person who had their gift taken from them gets to pick from the gift pile or “steal” a gift from someone else. The turn then passes to the next number (if a gift was chosen from the pile) or to the person who was just robbed (if a gift was stolen). Gifts can only be stolen two times (the third owner is the final owner), and a gift can not be immediately re-stolen. When all the gifts have been opened, the game is over.

As we near the holidays I hope you might consider giving a signed copy of this gorgeous book to friends, family or colleagues.
There will be a 20% discount to club members ($40, instead of $50) and Frank will be happy to inscribe books as well.
