Hello everyone!!!

That’s right; it’s time to start thinking a bout the annual NJMCA

Annual Meeting and Recertification Seminar and the HIGHLIGHT of

the week: The Photo Salon.

I know that you look forward to seeing the “beautiful” artwork that

some of our colleagues produce and laughing at those pitiful

attempts to channel Ansel Adams that always show up.

You too can make the Photo Salon fun by submitting your photos.

Submit early and often for an entertaining “Awards Presentation”.

Or accept the inevitable and send a picture like this:

Submit ‘em if you got ‘em!!

Doug Abdill, Chair

2016 Photo Salon Committee

Pesticide recertification training credits will be available for

available at the meeting! 8
