Neighbor 2 Neighbor Shoot - Saturday 2019-11-23

Neighbor to Neighbor shoot

Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) helps families that are close to becoming homeless, but they have homes now. Many of these families don't have money for a family portrait, and some have never had a family portrait before. N2N contacts their clients and arranges for them to come to out photoshoot if they would like a family portrait. Our club, FCDCC, takes pictures of the families, processes the pictures, prints them (WHCC), frames an 8"x10". N2N will deliver them to the families before Christmas.

Each family will get a package

- 1 framed 8"x10"
- 2 5"x7"s
- 8 wallet size
- all prints will be of the same picture
- CDROM with all other pictures suitable for printing
