The club will be planning photo outings in the future for members.
The club photo theme for January was “Holiday Lights.”
First place is Robin Grueninger and her photo “Virginia City Trains.” Second place was awarded to N. J. Thompson and her photograph “Sensorio No. 1.” The third-place winner was “Holiday Bubbles” by Sandra Silva. Gosma served as the contest judge.
