Re: [AISdiscuss] AIS 2006 Photo Contest

["JOHNNY R RANDALL" <patannran@msn.com>]

Good Evening All,
I ditto Paul's sentiments to Kitty on the results of the Photo Contest.  Am
so glad to hear that it resulted in an overwhelming turnout of photos and
participants.  And my thanks to you Kitty on your suggestion, time and
dedication to this wonderful endeavor.  I too can hardly wait to see some
samples of the entries and the winning photos and  photographers.  I second
Paul's suggestion about the display at next year's national, what a super
way to advertise the success of the project and generate more enthusiam for
next year's contest(?).  Way to go gal!!! Patricia
