April 2006
Meeting Gallery
April was our annual
picnic and our first ever "Weird Turnings" contest. Since
most everyone
was intent on winning Weird ribbons, there were fewer entries in our
regular categories. Weird or not,
the camaraderie was great and
the food plentiful. See pictures of the gathering at the bottom of
the page.
