The weather for Monday is looking warm and clear which should be good for our sunset pictures. Let’s meet at the beach concession stand around 4:30. When the sun has set we will proceed up Main Street and capture images of the Christmas light displays. Once we have our memory cards full, those who are interested can head into Chuck’s Roadhouse for sustenance. If you do plan to attend at Chuck’s, please email Janette or Trixie to let us know you are coming.
