  Our monthly focus is “Shadows”. When you start paying attention there are many types of shadows.  A tree shadowing a home, the shadow of a child playing ball, a gate shadow on the sidewalk.  This month we'll explore and see what types of shadows we can find.

  The venue and specific time for the event is open right now.  I think early morning or late afternoon would be best so I've tentatively set the "photo safari" for 3:00 pm at the train round-about in old Folsom.  If anyone has any better ideas let me know (Chris 916-712-6979).  Final time and exact location will be emailed to anyone who registers the day before the event.

  For more info on photographing shadows take a look at what Roz put together, it's great: Monthly Focus- Shadows

  Our planning committee has been busy setting up a fun evening for you. The party will be at Patty Fitzgerald's neighborhood clubhouse in Folsom.
  

  We'll start with a fun game to break the ice (it's a surprise) then have a nice dinner with Turkey, Ham, Scallop Potatoes, Vegetables, Green Salad and Rolls.  There will be water, wine and non-alcoholic cider (if you'd like something else please byo). 

  After a brief presentation from our President we'll sing some Christmas Carols and enjoy some pie for dessert. 

  The cost for the evening is only $ 10 each so invite your friends to join you.  We do need some help putting this on so helpers will only pay $ 5 each.  We'll need help with pealing potatoes and prepping food, setup, parking vehicles, bartender and a song leader so choose where you can help when you register.

  NOTE:  Parking is limited so please car pool if possible.  Just before the event we will send a reminder email with the parking information.

  PLEASE register before December 1st so we know how much food to purchase and cook.

  Any questions?  Call Chris at 916-712-6979 or email smithinsac@gmail.com
