Welcome to our very last meeting of the 2022 – 2023 season, NVPS End-of-Year Awards Night! We will have the full program of awards presented via Zoom this evening. In addition to the Zoom presentation, we will be having a picnic at Burke Lake Park on Saturday June 10th. We hope that you can join us for the picnic, but please be on the lookout for an eBlast with the full picnic details and how to RSVP for it.

We are pleased to have Kristi Odom as the judge for the end of year competition. She has the most difficult task of selecting the top images from all of the images that were awarded a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or Honorable Mention throughout the year within each competition class and category. That is going to be quite the challenge after seeing so many impressive winning images this club year.
