meeting photos 2008 to June 2010

Photos

plus info from the minutes from Paul Nederveen and Ray Morrison

As I work on transferring the Google web site to WIX

I noticed that I have meeting pictures on my computer.

Some of these were taken by me and some were sent to me.

(I spent the winters in Southern California and missed many of the meetings)

I decided that pictures were not complete unless I added names.

To do this I have asked many to help me. Thank you!

If you can correct or identify any, please email me (see bottom of the page)

Many of these pictures and more are in the MHADRTA scrapbook kept by Diane Klinck for many years and then taken over by Annita Pinder.
