Society Happenings for March 2009
Our Theme for February is "Animals"
Please remember that you don't have to have a theme image you may also bring your favorite image from the month or your project of the year image.
Send your images to me by Wednesday night or you may bring them to the meeting. Please bring only 2 images this month so that we will have time for Tutorials. Remember to size your files to no larger than 1024x768 and they should have your initials in the beginning example of your files could be (jas_feb09_ontheedge.jpg) It helps tremendously by having all your images together at the end of the year by you using the same method each and every month. Thanks
Our Themes for the new year are now posted on the web site check them out here.
