Our Annual Photo Contest is fun for our members and helps support the Circumnavigators Foundation. It is a great way to share our photos with the membership.
Here are the rules:
Photos are to be submitted via email as an attachment to photocontest@circumnavigators.org. Members are limited to five submissions. There is a $10 fee for each photo, which is a tax-deductible contribution to the Foundation. The photos do not have to be recent.
There will be three winning places in each category as well as an overall best photo. The photos will be judged by professional photographers.
There is no form to be filled out. Just send your email with the photos including the following:
- Your Name
- Chapter
- Category of photograph
- Title of photograph
- Photographer’s statement
We will contact you if we need more info.
Entry fees can be sent via PayPal on our website or by check to “Circumnavigators Club Foundation” and mailed to the Circumnavigators Club, PO Box 465, Ramsey NJ 07446.
Let’s support this event! Our goal is to raise $1000 for the Foundation. All photos will be shown on the Club web site.

Spring is on the way
March will be a busy month for Circumnavigators. For those in the northern United States, it will be a time of looking forward to nice Spring weather. Most importantly for the Club, we are anticipating a fantastic Order of Magellan Event on March 22, awarding our top honor to space pioneer Robert Crippen. The event will be held in Naples, FL on March 22, and it isn’t too late to sign up. All members received an invitation in the mail. If you are in need of a reservation form, please contact Tracy Sancilio at club@circumnavigators.org or 201-612-9100.
Annual Meeting in May
The Circumnavigators Club Annual Meeting will be held on Friday, May 17 at the Yale Club in New York. Members are invited to join the meeting, and guests are welcome to stay for lunch and the program. This year, C. Jim Foster will make a fascinating presentation on the Magellan Project which is planning to retrace the journey of Magellan 500 years ago. Invitations and details will be sent soon.
Service for Past President Ellen Parke
There will be a memorial service for Ellen who passed away unexpectedly in January.
