WE NEED PHOTOS!
Last year, in an attempt to put the job of taking photos in to the hands of our membership, we set up a Picasa Web Album for all worca members to upload thier photos to. This went well for the 2008 season and we even had a few keen members post some video! Unfortunately, so far this year, our albums are all empty! This is a plea for all of you with cameras who are out there taking shots to please take a few moments to upload your pics to the web album so that all can enjoy. It's super easy and instructions are on our webpage. While we've got your attention - this is also a request to all of you to start digging up those glorious shots of seasons past. You all know that this year is our 20th Anniversary so we'd like to see some shots of vintage spandex, rigid frames and whatever other incriminating evidence you have of good times gone by! Please send your images to Tracy for possible use in celebratory slide shows and presentations this ! season!
