Welcome to our two newest Northern District officers, Barbi Barnum and Andrew Clark. 2
Tracy McGee is putting together an awesome convention!!! All the news for the speaker lineup will be coming out over the coming weeks. For starters, David Fitzsimmons (Curious Critter books) will be presenting a program on macro photography. But catch this! David is going to have stations set up where we can have hands-on experience with a variety of Sigma macro lenses. We will be shooting much in the way David takes pictures for his Curious Critter books.
