In September we held our second annual Club Picnic. Everyone was invited including their families, which extended to the grandchildren as well. Even though we had a slight bit of rain during the festivities, it didn't dampen our "Spirits". Not all the club members could make it, but that didn't take from the excitement & camaraderie. We had raffles for prizes, that were graciously donated by "Master Collector-The G.I. Joe Collectors' Club". Thanks Brian! Then after everyone filled up on burgers, dogs, chips, soda & snacks, we set off into the surrounding woods at The Atlantic County Park for some spectacular photos. (still missing a few submissions, even at this late date, but I will get them updated as soon as I get them) The photos will be judged by outside experts, but the prize is still undetermined at this time.
