WCA Summer Fun Schedule

By now all of the members of the Woodland Community Association have probably received my annual letter with the summer fun schedule. But for those of you who didn't, I wanted to post it on the blog. The one additional piece of information I have to share is that for the potluck at Menla the folks at the center will be providing the dessert. So if you are coming, please bring an appetizer, main course or side dish. See you all soon for some summer fun!

Description of Events

Potluck at Menla Center - Sunday June 14th 3:00 pm - Last year's dinner was such a success that the Menla Mountain Retreat and Conference Center has again graciously agreed to co-host (with the WCA) a potluck dinner gathering on their property. We bring the dinner and they provide the dessert. The date is set for Sunday June 14th at 3:00pm. It will be a another opportunity for us to get to know the folks at the center better and strengthen our friendships. Bring a dish to share. Please call or email me by June 10th. if you plan to attend so we can get an idea of how many will be joining us. I am looking forward to seeing you all there.

Annual Summer Meeting - Saturday - July 11th 4:00 pm- This is usually our only official meeting of the year so please try and attend!

Night Sky Viewing with Alexander Mallon - July 17th, 18th or 19th (ONLY ONE NIGHT - weather depending) - Alexander has one of the largest telescopes in the Hudson Valley (larger than most universities) and he has agreed to set it up and share his knowledge of the stars with the WCA. The event will take place on the old Larkin Farm property near the end of Woodland Valley Road. It will run from twilight until late evening. We have reserved 3 different dates for the event but we will only be picking one. Alexander will make the choice based on the weather as the date approaches. Everyone who attends should park on Woodland Valley Road and walk into the property. We will post signs for those of you who have never been on that land. You MUST bring a flashlight to find your way out after dark!!!!

Annual Dershowitz Party - Saturday August 1st - The Dershowitz family graciously hosts this fun-filled party every year and invites all of the WCA. Bring your bathing suit, a tennis racket (if you play) and a non-meat dish or drink to share. It is always a great time!!!

There are a lot of small tips and tricks that you can use to make your photos better. I will be working in Photoshop Elements which is the inexpensive, home version of the program.
