Cheryl Stitzlein showed her excellent portrait prints, Cecilia García shared the "Mylar Technique" to make abstracts and showed her pictures from the colossal stones at Nemrut Park in Turkey, Janice and Nolan Braud gave us a spectacular flowers slide show with background music, Ying Huang took us to Norway with her beautiful pictures. Below "The Door" and "Hongsberg", and Debbie Alamilla presented her wonderful underwater work on a nice slide show with music. Debbie Alamilla introduced the 2005 Board Officers: Cesar Vargas (president), Dave McConnachie (vice president/program chairman), Sue Wheatley (secretary/treasurer), Cheryl Stitzlein (membership chairman), Nalin Trivedi (activity chairman), C. García (publicity coordinator) and Debbie Alamilla (advisor). All of them will make the membership's vision come alive. Congratulations to our new team! Also we had a member's evaluation of this year events. We shared our ideas for future activities, though, we will have a lot of success with our next year events. We enjoyed the Christmas Party and members brought a dessert, a salad, or a casserole to share.
