It is my hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebrating with family and friends, which brings me to my message.

 On behalf of your board, I want to thank each and every one of you for being our friends. Now, this year is coming to a close-with PPLAC capping it off with a very successful DPC.

 2012 was good year, and next year promises to be even better.  Our speaker chair (Mel Carll) has secured amazing monthly programs, plus we will be kick of the new year with more safaris and other fun photo opps.

 Now would be a good time to renew your membership before the end of the year to get a nice discount!

 I am looking forward to seeing all of you at our January Open House! This frolicking fun event kicks off our New Year with scrumptious food and lively music in addition to the installation of your board and some new co-chairs as well as an amazing photo exhibition. We'll also congratulate the recipients of the photographers of the year awards.

 Your board works tirelessly to make your meetings interesting and informative, but without your attendance all their efforts are cast to the wind. My request to you is to simply attend meetings, so mark your calendars to be with us every 4th Thursday in Culver City.

 In the meantime, have a very safe, healthy, happy and prosperous holiday season.  Let's make next year the best ever (Screw the Mayan calendar).

Cheers,

Bob Young
