The Metroparks of Toledo have agreed to host us for the Annual Photo Contest next Spring!! I would like to have an initial planning session next Tuesday, September 14th at 7 pm via Zoom. Many of you have expressed an interest in participating in the Annual Contest Planning Committee.  Hopefully you can make this meeting, but there will be plenty of planning sessions ahead.  At this meeting we will plan our ongoing meeting needs along with developing the planning schedule for the event. Even if you cannot participate with the planning, we will need member support for the photo processing, reception and hosting the exhibit.
