Lakes Regional SWFL Shutter bugs Meeting Recap Nov 2020

Happy Thanksgiving

Good Day SWFL Shutterbugs!

Yesterday was our first live meeting since March at Lakes Park in Fort Myers.  We had 20 in attendance with a beautiful day in the park.  Based on feedback we will continue with this venue with the next meeting to be scheduled in January.  Details to follow.

It was great to see new and familiar faces, share news and talk about photography,  albeit with that masked desperado look! Warm welcome to Lane Garrett our newest member to join the group.  Also Congratulations to Fran Pastore, joining our Organizer Team.
