Local photographer Merrill Thomas is distributing two full-color 2009 calendars this fall as fundraisers for nonprofit organizations.
Profits will be divided between Wichita Radio Reading Service, a sub-channel of Wichita State鈥檚 KMUW 89.1 Wichita Public Radio, and Circle of Hope Charity, which benefits the people of Aceituno, Guatemala.
One calendar contains beautiful images of landmarks in Wichita. The other has breath-taking photos of Yosemite National Park. Both vertical calendars are 10 feet by 10 feet when closed and 10 feet by 20 feet when opened.
