2014-06-10 FCDCC Meeting Notes We met in our normal room (PAC) at Ridgeview Classical School Please welcome Riam who was visiting our club meeting. Please pay your dues for 2014 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. For the next 2 months, send your photograph submittals for the meetings to Gerry Cashman at gcash357@gmail.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 Gerry has time to create the slideshow. Lynne Lewis is organizing the Poudre Library Photocontest "photoSTREAM". She is looking for 6 people to judge the entries. Please contact Lynne if you would like to be a judge.
