This is a variation of the “Where’s Waldo” drawings that were popular several years ago. Basically, members of the club can submit pictures - to the Foghorn Editor or an NYCP board member - which have the Burgee or our license plate somewhere in the photograph. Pictures can be submitted at any time electronically or dropping them off at one of the club events. Each month the picture(s) submitted will be published in the Foghorn and selection of the pictures which are unique and of interest to the club members will be in the running for an award at the end of the year.
