Photo Sharing

From Diane Johnson.
In 2010 I created a website where NWMA club members can easily share photos. When you take photos at a race or rendezvous, you are welcome to share them here.
So far, there are some boat building photos and some Tri Dyes Rendezvous photos here. If you want to see them or want to share your photos, please send an email
to nwmultihull-subscribe at yahoogroups.com to join the group. The website is a Yahoo group for NWMA. For privacy, this group can't be found on Yahoo unless you
know about it. Only people who join the new NW Multihull group on Yahoo can see the photos. You are all invited to join.
Once you join the group, the website is fast and easy to use. For example, click Create Album to start a new photo album. Then choose which photos to upload
from your PC to the website. You choose whether or not you will allow other group members to add photos to your album. The Yahoo group also has a calendar,
RSVP for events, share files, send and archive messages, sell or give away boat gear, etc. But we already do some of these things at www.nwmultihull.org and
our list serve.
So please try this easy method of photo sharing. Thank you..

Here's where I put stuff that is generally "short lived" and/or of immediate interest and doesn't fit into any of the other regular sections.  It's analogous to the "kitchen junk drawer" that many folks (including me) maintain.  Small bits and pieces that are too good to throw away but you really don't have any better place to put them.

Choose an item from the list on the left.  Good luck finding what you're looking for!
