Special thanks to all who made our annual Holiday Party/Photo Contest/Elections of Officers meeting such a success: To Rhoda Roper and Nina Burghardt for arranging such a beautiful setting at the Unitarian Society hall, to Bob Hosh for accepting registrations and coordinating the food, to our photo judges Klaus-Peter Steitz and Dr. Gene Varney, and to all who prepared such wonderful food, brought refreshments, and provided excellent company for all to enjoy at holiday time.

WEBSITE FEATURE: YOUR PHOTOS OF NEW JERSEY FUNGI

The NJMA website is now being updated to include photographs of the wide variety of fungi found in New Jersey. Click on the "Photo Pages (beta)" button on the left to enter the gallery. Current NJMA members are welcome to submit digital photos of fungus finds from our state. The goal is to provide a pictorial guide to fungi found in New Jersey. All submitted photos will be posted, provided that they follow a few simple guidelines. For the moment, we are calling this a "beta" page because it's in the setup stage, and we invite your feedback regarding its layout, usability, and content.

A special "thank you" goes out to Rob Robinson for setting up and maintaining
this section of our website.
