2014-11-11 FCDCC Meeting Notes

We met in our usual room at Ridgeview Classical School
Ridgeview Classical School on the southeast corner of Lemay and Stuart (1800 S. Lemay) Enter through the east side of the building. Jonathan connected us to the school sound system so our videos sounded great.

Please welcome Steve, Noah and Carrie who were visiting our club meeting.

Please pay your dues for 2015 to Harry Strharsky at the January meeting if you haven't already paid. You can find him at most meetings. Annual dues are $25/member with $15 for each additional spouse and $10 for each additional child under 18. Dues are prorated based on the month you join.

Check out the SIGs (Special Interest Groups); they have been holding lots of meetings and going on lots of outings. Participating in a SIG is an excellent way to develop your skills.

Send your photograph submittals for the meetings to Gerry Cashman at photoeditor@fcdcc.com. Remember to send in before and after versions of your pictures so we can learn about post processing. Please send in 3 or fewer pictures for the slideshow, and send them by Sunday evening so Ken has time to create the slideshow.
