Fall 2019 Member Magazine

Earlier this year, we announced the first Joseph E. Gadbois “God Bless America” photo contest, asking for submissions that capture the spirit of America in a person, place or event. With votes cast on our website determining the finalists, the winning photos were judged on quality, composition and alignment with the theme. All those who entered the contest received a commemorative photo frame magnet. The first-place winners received the grand prize of a $100 gift card. Here are the first place photos! Included are Joseph E. Gadbois’ comments on why they were chosen. Congratulations! W t h f i f ti t ’ t t b i i M y 2020 JOSEPH E.
