Competition & Party Reminder

"Candlelight" - attend online or in person

All Members (whether you are attending the Holiday Party in person, online, or not at all): Remember to upload your "Candlelight" Competition photo by Monday, December 5, at 10:00 pm. There is no time limit for when the candlelight photo was taken. Then, all members can vote for their favorite starting Tuesday morning and ending at 3:00 pm on Thursday. The voting for your favorite will be like we do our Scavenger Hunts. We'll meet both online and in person from 6:30 - 7:00 and announce the competition winner and January's Monthly Challenge topic during that time. If you plan to attend the Holiday Party in person, please click this link to RSVP and sign up for what you'd like to bring.
Flagpole Photographers have over 300 photos on exhibit. The exhibit is at the Newtown Municipal Center, 3 Primrose Street, Newtown CT. It is open until Dec 29.

Let your friends and communities know it's a great place to buy a holiday gift!
