Please come to the first meeting in September with some ideas for the assigned subject ballot. Our ballot for next year (we vote in May) only has ~35 items on it and we need to add more choices. We are looking for subjects to be added to the ballot, the membership still decides which choices on the ballot will be chosen for the following year.
Please take a look at the present, past and possible future subjects and think of some to add to our May 2013 ballot.
Assigned Subjects for 2012-2013 season.
September -- BUTTERFLY (s) and/or INSECT (s)
October -- THREE OF A KIND
November -- FOLIAGE-FALL COLOR
January -- PHOTOJOURNALISM
Feburary -- TRAIN (s)
March -- SAND/SNOW
April -- WHEELS

These are the subject still on the ballot...
