2015-04-14 FCDCC Meeting Notes

We met in the band 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. PAC stands for the Performing Arts Center.

We didn't have any visitors at the 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.

Please send your SIG outings schedules to info@fcdcc.com so I can add them to the website.

Send your photograph submittals for the February meeting 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 Gary has time to create the slideshow. We also accept short videos for the slideshow.

We still have some offices and positions that need to be filled:
President Elect: TBD
Outings: TBD
Programs: TBD
Video SIG Leader: TBD

Our treasurer, Harry, announced that we have $4200 in the club bank account.
