**\* Turkey, ham and table set up volunteers:**
**Please confirm with Lynn Evans (portnoyjohnson@gmail.com).**
**RAS reimburses the cost of a turkey or ham: bring your receipt.**

**Photos:**
**The Photo Presentation component of the Annual Potluck remains a very popular and fun RAS annual activity. We are treated to such wonderful bird pics and stories every year!**
**Photo Presentation Guidelines:**
**Each member will be expected to provide a brief presentation describing your photos.**
**Asking the audience to ID the bird species is totally acceptable (and fun).**
**Please be courteous of others regarding the length of your commentary.**
**Photo Submission Guidelines:**
**We are welcoming photo submissions NOW.**
**Photos should be bird-related and from calendar year 2025.**
**Limit of 5 photos for submission.**
**\* NEW THIS YEAR:**
**Legacy Presenters (those who have presented at prior Potlucks) may submit up to 8 photos for presentation!**
**Prefer no video files (due to technical considerations).**
**Please do not send any photos that have been compressed. The quality of compressed files is inadequate. If it takes sending 1-2 photos per email and sending multiple emails, that is FINE.**
**Photo file name:**
**Last name_year_Potluck photo #_species_location**
**Example:**
**Fulcher_2024_Potluck 01_Atlantic Puffin_Maine**
**We will order your photos according to the photo # in the file name.**
**Submit your photos to the following email address:**
**info@richmondaudubon.org**
**Attn: Mario P Grasso II (RAS Board, Publicity Chair)**
**Submit your photos by:**
**Nov 10, 2025, Monday**
**As RAS Publicity Chair, I also ask:**
**May we please use your photos on our RAS website and RAS social media outlets?**
**If you do not wish for us to use your photos, please let me know.**
**Unless you direct otherwise, I will assume that we MAY use your photos.**
