Posted by Russ Der at Sep 6, 2014 1:05PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

Hi everyone,

Drayden Goodman is putting together the slide show for the Year End Awards, which will be held on Sept 28, at the Cavallotti Lodge.

If you have any pictures from this past season, that would be appropriate for this project, please upload them to Teampages, no later than September 14, this will allow him plenty of time to put together the slideshow.

This has always been the highlight of the Awards Night, so let’s get as many " interesting " pictures as possible.

Thanks,
