Elisa Zöhrer Photography
At last week's meeting, our Austrian Exchange Student, Elisa Zöhrer, announced that she is selling photographs that she took at Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park over the holidays. She is raising money to help fund her trip to New York City in March and her trip around the U.S. in July.
She has six (6) photographs available for purchase. Sizes available are 4 X 6, 5 X 7, 8 X 10 and 11 X 17. The cost for the photographs: a donation to her trip -- no set cost. An email was sent to all the members this week showing all 6 photographs.
If you would like it framed, she will charge you what she pays for framing -- which she thinks will be approximately $20.
If you are interested in seeing all 6 photographs or purchasing any of these beautiful photographs, please email Elisa at: elisa.zoehrer.ez@gmail.com
Indicate in your email which photograph (they are each numbered), the size and quantity.
Elisa thanks you!
