June Scrapbooking Tip
Beach photo tips
Summer is all but officially here and for most of us that will mean at least one trip to the beach! We are lucky to live in such a great location.

I found this great page that had this wonderful tips for shooting the best possible shots at the beach. I especially loved his tips about preventing sand getting into your delicate equipment. I hope you enjoy these tips too!

2016 Dates Announced!
Get excited for another fun-filled year!
While we were at the crop in April, we were able to work with the new staff at the Holiday Inn to set our 2016 dates much sooner than we expected! As a result, here are our 2016 dates:

 

REGISTRATION FOR JANUARY 2016 AND THOSE SIGNING UP FOR ALL FIVE DATES WILL OPEN IN SEPTEMBER 2015. As usual, we will offer a 10% discount to those that register for all 5 dates and we will offer some payment plans for qualifying registrations.

The prices for the 2016 crops will remain the same! $250/weekend.

Tee Shirts for Charity
Another way to give back and win prizes!
As you can tell by our website and this newsletter, we recently rebranded. New look, new logo and that means new tee shirts as well! We haven't sold tee shirts since 2011 and now is the perfect time! PLUS, wear it at a crop for the chance to win great prizes and give a little back.
 
We are selling these adorable v-neck tee shirts for $25. All of the proceeds will go to Bethany House, a domestic violence shelter in Northern Virginia. Bethany House was organized to help women and their children who have suffered from domestic violence regain health and dignity and become re-established in their community by providing temporary housing and support.

In 2014, we were able to donate over $600 to Bethany House! 

 

You can choose to have the shirt shipped to you for an additional fee or you can pick it up at any one of our crops. As an added bonus, at each crop, we will have a special prize drawing for anyone caught wearing a Crops Plus shirt over the course of the weekend.

 

Be sure to get yours before we sell out so that you can also be eligible to win and give back to the community. You can order your shirt here: http://www.ourcropsplus.com/#!crops-plus-tee-shirts/cf9y  

 

Note: We will have all sizes once again available at the April crop.
