2013-11-12 FCDCC Meeting Notes We met in our regular room at Ridgeview Classical School Please welcome vistors and new members: Didi, Louise, Ronnie and Pat. Please pay your dues for 2013 to Harry Strharsky 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. We have started a new SIG for video. Judy Cannon will lead the SIG. Details to follow... The Architecture SIG and Macro SIG don't seem to have leaders. If you are interested in leading one of these groups, please volunteer. If we don't get a new leader they will be put on hold. This month send your photograph submittals for the meetings to Ken Eis at KenEis@comcast.net. We are looking for a new volunteer to handle the photograph submittals. If you are interested please contact Ken Eis. Remember to send in before and after versions of your pictures so we can learn about post processing. Please send in 3 or less pictures for the slideshow, and send them by Sunday evening so Ken has time to create the slideshow. We are looking for a volunteer to handle the photo slideshow at the club meetings. Please contact Ken Eis if you would like to volunteer.
