Behind the Scenes
Gary Garrett

President Trummie and the entire club are grateful for Gary Garrett.  If you are a newer member, you may have noticed the man who always sits alone at the front table with his camera. Although he lives in Ballground, GA, he attends almost every club meeting. He takes pictures each week then downloads the files to send to the Public Image team to use in social media and newsletter. His weekly pictures are a critical communications resource for the club as we document the year for our club archives. He does this every week for us. 

Most of you may know Gary as the generous venue host of Farm Day. So many of us enjoy a day at his farm each year. But it is the weekly behind-the-scenes service that many never see. Thank you Gary for helping us to record and preserve each week.
