UPPER MERION CAMERA CLUB SUMMER "SHOOT-OUTS" 2008*

During the summer months, club members (and visitors) travel to local sites to take photographs.

In light of current gas prices, and also considering the limited parking at some locations, we strongly recommend
that all summer shoot-out participants car-pool from the meeting point in King of Prussia to the shoot-out locations.
