  FF Sacramento Shutterbugs

  We were not able to get the library for our June meeting so we've changed the location.  Our meetings in June will start at Chris Smith's home, 615 27th Street in Sacramento (between F and G streets).  The theme for June is "ACTION" so after a brief discussion we'll find someplace to practice some action shots.  Maybe a ball game, dog park, or perhaps you have an idea?

  Please register here so we have an idea of how many will show up.  If you can car pool with someone that's always a good idea!  Questions?  Call Chris at 916-712-6979 or email smithinsac@gmail.com

  Discover Davis with Friendship Force

  Meeting place:  Hattie Weber Museum, 445 C St.
  Davis

  The Hattie Weber Museum features exhibits depicting the history and heritage of Davis and the surrounding area.

  
  

  The Farmers market is held each Saturday in Central Park in downtown Davis, and it is possible to buy lunch food there. The address for the Farmers market is 301 C St in Davis.  The plan is to buy lunch downtown and enjoy a LEO (Let's Eat Out) together.    

  On-street parking is free, but hard to find nearby on market days. People can also park in lots located across Russell Blvd (which is just north of Central Park) at the schools administrative office, and/or in a lot behind Davis City Hall.  If you have a problem finding parking, you can enter the USDA parking structure at 4th and G across from Ace Hardware pets and garden entrance on 4th.

  After we have lunch and walk around downtown Davis, we'll get back into our cars and drive to the Manetti Shrem Museum of Art on the UC Davis campus.  There's lots of free parking next to the museum. 

  Access to return to I-80 is quick and easy from the art museum.  

  Note:  the UCD Arboretum is under construction and will not be a part of this outing.

  Guests are welcome.  
  

  Helen Flach (kwflach@aol.com) & Terry Parker (terrylynparker@gmail.com) are coordinating this event for our club.  Please email or call with any question.

  Hope you can join the fun!

  This will be an amazing time together as we review our adventures in 2018, enjoy good food and fine friends and see an incredible show performed by the multi-talented group High Voltage!

  High Voltage is El Dorado Musical Theatre’s group of high-energy young performers who sing, dance, and entertain a wide range of audiences. They are EDMT’s “Performance Ambassadors” who perform not only in the theater, but who take entertainment into the community.

  Since establishing El Dorado Musical Theatre, the creative staff was asked again and again if there were groups of performers willing to entertain at community service centers, holiday celebrations, and various local special events. High Voltage was established in 2009 to meet the need and has been performing ever since.

  An audition-only group, High Voltage performs together for an entire year, or in theater terminology, “season.” The group size varies from season to season, but is generally about 20–22 performers ages 13–22.

  The creative team for High Voltage includes Director/Choreographer, Debbie Wilson and Vocal Director, Jennifer Wittmayer.

  You DO NOT WANT TO MISS IT!  Registration will be open in October.
