My Winning End of Year photos from 2023 Camera Club Competition

We are a small camera club, but it was very nice to have some winning photos in the End of Year competition 2023 (competing winning photos from earlier in the year).  Frankly, I think everyone in our club is quite talented and they all deserve recognition for their photography and their hard work helping with club activities.  See our website, https://www.smccc.org for more information about the club.

River Concert Series 2023 had a Great Start June 23, 2023

Despite the threat of rain, the River concert season started with a very talented guest singer, N'Kenge, a solo by Rick Humphries on saxophone and our own beloved Chesapeake Orchestra, led by Music Director Jeffrey Silberschlag.  The concerts are held on the green at St. Mary's College of Maryland for the next 5 Friday nights at 7 PM.  Do get there early, especially for Fireworks next week (weather permitting).  N'Kenge wowed us with her singing and her gorgeous gowns from New York City.  Music included songs from Divas from the sixties and seventies like Tina Turner, Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin, and Stephen Sondheim.  We especially enjoyed N'Kenge's medley version of "Proud Mary" and "Respect".
