What a great idea to raise money. I'll dig thru my pics to see if I have anything that is worthy of submission. I'll be going to the Straits around the end of July, so I'll make sure that I get some pictures then. Have you set a price on the calenders yet? You can count me in for at least one.

I'm sure you'll have some worthy pics after your trip. The calenders are $20/ea. Remember, if one of your pics is chosen, you'll get a free copy, but you'll surely want to buy a copy for every family member to enjoy. Thanks for the support and have a great trip in July.

That sounds like a great idea, you guys do a fantastic job with the moorings every year. I'll dig thru some photos and see if any are worth sending and I'm sure I'll be buying a calendar and tee shirt when I get up there.

Thanks Cman. Hope to see some of your photos on the 2015 calender!

Bump. Just a reminder about the Straits Preserve photo contest. So far, we've had only a few submissions, so chances of ending up in the calendar are good. It's cold and rainy here, a good day to sift through photos. PM me with any questions, or send your photos to dsc2679@gmail.com. Hope to see some more photos soon and thanks for supporting the Straits of Mackinac Shipwreck Preserve.
