New Business:
1. Granby Library has asked the Club to submit photos to use for their new library cards. Bring up to three photos, 4x6 in size. Remember that the cards will be 3x4 or wallet size so take that into consideration as you chose a photo. The pictures should be a Granby picture and preferably not the Oak or Library( per Granby Library Board)!
2.The Kelly Lane Principal, Bob Gilbert called and asked if the Club would like to hang pictures in the entry area of the school. Paula will call him and get more information as to the security of the pictures, how many we hang, and how often we would need to change them. She will also go to Michaels and buy several 11x14 frames that could be used so we would only need to change the picture.
3. The Granby Chamber of Commerce has asked if the Club would contribute Granby pictures for their Web Page. Peter will follow up and get more information: how do we get our pictures to them and could we hyper-link the pictures back to our blog?
4. The Holcomb Farm has expressed an interest in pictures by the club. Paula will follow up.
5. Don’t forget: Our blog has links to member’s web pages.
6. Field Trips: no new ideas so keep thinking!
7. Gary suggested we check out: HawkWatch.com
