  Topics -- Monthly Focus for July is "Season".  Join us for lunch as we discuss how to capture the Seasons.

  There is broad definition of season with a couple of meanings.  Generally it means a specific time period as a season of the year, a television show or sport’s season, or it can mean spice or herb used to season food, or to prime or prepare wood “season the wood”.  Here is Merriam-Websters complete definition.

  • Join us for a social lunch in private meeting room 12:30 - 1:00 All you can eat salad and pizza buffet; lunch $11.00.

  • 1:00-3:00 Shutterbugs Meetup.
