       Challenge 1 - Show me your Layout

Twenty Five Potomac Division Members participated in Challenge 1 and here are the submissions they made. What started as a simple complete these questions form resulted in a tremendous response from the membership requiring the Potomac Flyer to split the Layout submissions in two parts to publish all of them. The following are the members that submitted layouts and you can see their submission by clicking on their name. You can also see the write up published in the August- September OR October - November 2021 Potomac Flyer, the Potomac Division's Bi-monthly newsletter,  or if you left click on the Layout's title found to the right of the layout picture.
