DISPLAY TABLE

Josée sends us pictures of Easter Dragon eggs. She writes:

I’m sending a couple of pictures for display for the meeting this Saturday. They are elemental dragon eggs. Each one represents an element of nature : fire, water, earth and air. I also made a special base for each egg.

RAFFLE PRIZES (Click to view full size)

Special for this meeting: Expo package from Joe Aspler, to accompany his presentation: Visions of the Future.

Winners are welcome to pick up their prizes from Joe in Kirkland, (especially the book & the poster) to save the club money on mailing.

. Expo 67 poster: 19″ x 25″. This is an original poster, the most popular end-of-Expo souvenir. This is printed on lightweight coated paper, not heavy poster stock, so it’s a bit creased around the edges. Shipped in a mailing tube.
. Expo 67 Theme Pavilions – a large illustrated book, bilingual text, with preface by Commissioner-General Pierre Dupuy and Introduction by Gabrielle Roy. Man the Creator, Man the Producer, Man the Explorer, Man the Provider, Man and His Health, Man and the Community, Habitat 67, Labyrinth [Experimental National Film Board of Canada pavilion; the forerunner to IMAX]. Hardcover, 27cm x 29cm, 156 pages, colour

My personal Expo collection: 2,500 pictures (mostly mine, plus estate sale slides and a few pictures from the internet), plus scans of documents, press releases, magazines, brochures, programs, etc. I supply this on a 32GB USB key, which the winner can then keep! The 1967 pictures are mostly scanned B&W negatives – B&W was my budget at the age of 13. Later pictures and estate purchases are mostly scanned from colour slides.
