Space is limited to 20 people, and there will be a waiting list.

Judging Wildlife Photography will meet from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Seasoned photographers/judges Warren Bouton, Deb Payette and Ed Norman will discuss the criteria they'll be using when sorting through the numerous entries for this year's Friends photo contest.
