Our Youth
& What Potential
By MEB
Emily Chester is a 7th grade Honor Roll Student at Sebastian River Middle School. She
joined the photo club because she loves taking
pictures, particularly with her Nana, Dyan Chester, a long-time club member.
She has a very busy life as a golfer with the Indian River Golf Foundation,
playing chess with friends, being active in her church youth group, and
reading (her favorite series is The Vampire Diaries).
You will want to look for Emily at the next meeting because she has a wonderful positive attitude that
will surely give your heart a lift.
Gavin Martilotti is a 7th grade student at Sebastian River Middle School.
He joined the photo club because
he likes all kinds of art. Gavin
particularly likes to draw with pen
and ink and photography is just a
natural extension of his interests.
He participates in karate tournaments and is second-degree black-belt karate. To be a second-degree black-belt,
Gavin first had to earn a shodan (first-degree black-belt).
At the next meeting, look for this young photographer who
could potentially be our next great artistic photographer.

As photographers you will have a fantastic chance to capture
some unique studies of performers, campers and other

Many club members have enjoyed this annual event not only for its music but also for its
True Blue Grass Flavor…………only in America is there an experience like this!
It has been an honor and privilege to bring bluegrass music to our
friends. After this year it will be impossible to introduce a friend or family
member to the amazing experience of three days filled with music and
community at the KD Bass production of the YeeHaw Junction Music
Festival. So bring the kids, the grandkids to camp out, cook out and rain or
shine enjoy three days of bluegrass music under a big top tent. We are
looking forward to seeing you Jan 22nd-24th, 2015 at our final production of
the Yeehaw Junction Bluegrass music festival.
Stop by our face-book page to share your fondest memory of the Yeehaw Junction Bluegrass Festival
