I am upping the limit of photo submissions per person for the calendar to 6, so get your cameras out this weekend! Submissions are due to mishirish@yahoo.com by Wednesday, the 31st.
Ad spaces still available as well, let me know if you’re interested in one!
For those of you who were unable to make our meeting last weekend – and a reminder for those of you who were there – one of the ideas we discussed was making a chinchilla calendar as a fundraiser for the chapter. We would like to use photos of chinchillas submitted by you, our members. Mish will collect your submissions and then make a voting system for you all to choose which photos you like, the top 13 (12 months plus cover) photos voted for will make it into the calendar.
If you would like to donate photos, please send them to Mish Irish at mishirish@yahoo.com by August 31st, we’re going to try to have these calendars available by the New York show in mid-September so this deadline will be strict. The higher the resolution of the photo, the better! Please limit your submissions to 4.
Also, we are selling business-card sized ad space on each month of the calendar for $20. There are currently 6, maybe 7, ad spaces available. If you would like to purchase ad space, let Mish know and she’ll get back to you.

Welcome to the newly remodeled website for the MCBA Atlantic Chapter! It will be much easier to maintain on our end but it is our hope that you find it easy to use and pleasing to the eye as well. Suggestions are welcome!
