FENTON FLYER FOTOS SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER 2016
This page is designed to complement The Fenton Flyer.  The Fenton Flyer is printed with eight color pages and the balance in black and white.  We hope the members of the NFGS enjoy viewing the photos in color, and the visitors to the NFGS website enjoy them and are curious to learn more about the articles they represent.  To learn more about the NFGS, or to join, please visit the Membership page by clicking on the title in the panel on the left or on the bottom of this page.
NFGS dues for the balance of 2016 (September 1 - December 31) are now reduced to half price for those joining - Primary Members ($12.50) and Primary Associates ($2.50).  Associate Members must reside in the same household as a Primary Member.    Members renewing at this time must pay dues for the full year; Primary $25 and Associates $5.  This year we are offering an Orange Slice Satin mouse for $25 and a Green Topaz for $31.  They are limited to one of each per household (Primary member) for the 2016 membership year, on a first come, first serve basis.  The quantities are limited.
